GitHub Pages Sites on Domino 3: How

Hosting a GitHub Pages - or more properly, Jekyll - site on Domino may not fit everyone's requirements. But it did fit mine. The "how" is relevant for any static website, although there are other options that I'll mention. But this blog post is covering the "what", the technologies involved. There is a lot that will be unfamiliar to many Domino developers, but technologies worth getting familiar with.
Source control is a topic that periodically crops up around Domino. And if source control is important, there is only one choice for documentation - Jekyll. It's not hard to justify why. I'll come onto more detailed coverage of the technologies involved in the next blog post. But suffice to say, for now, that some key reasons are:
After my blog post last week on LotusScript classes and using Static Property Get
to create singletons, there was some discussion on OpenNTF's Discord about the challenges of forcing use of the singleton. "Singleton" is a misnomer really, because it's not scoped to the JVM asaJava singleton would be. But I can't think of a better name yet, so I'll stick with that terminology, but be aware of the specific scope for static instances in LotusScript / VoltScript.
In the previous parts one, two, three and four I talked about various aspects of LotusScript / VoltScript classes. But there's a LotusScript function which has become very relevant for me recently, in the context of classes.
