How to Recreate this Example​

  1. Install Devbox
  2. In a new directory, run devbox init to create an empty config
  3. Run devbox add ruby_3_1 bundler to add Ruby and Bundler to your packages
  4. Add "gem install jekyll --version \"~> 3.9.2\"" to your init hook. This will install the Jekyll gem in your local project.
