description: A history of my involvement in developing / maintaining Jekyll Asset Pipeline.
---
At the beginning of 2014 I accepted to work on a project for a friend and since it was a simple presentation site I decided to build it in Jekyll[^1]. (Throughout this post I will add explanations for non technical people as footnotes.) By the time I got started on this project I was kind of spoiled by [Rails](http://rubyonrails.org/)' asset pipeline[^2] functionality which was missing from Jekyll, but I quickly found [a plugin](https://github.com/matthodan/jekyll-asset-pipeline) which promised to deliver this. Taking a closer look at its GitHub repository I noticed that the original author has not touched it for half a year or so and some of the pull requests[^3] were pretty straight forward so I decided to fork[^4] the repository and integrate those changes. Thanks to the magic of git and the Internet, I can "retrace" the timeline of what happened to my fork:
At the beginning of 2014 I accepted to work on a project for a friend and since it was a simple presentation site I decided to build it with Jekyll[^1].

* January 8, 2014 - I start committing code, one of the main tasks being renaming the plugin from jekyll\_asset\_pipeline to [japr](https://github.com/janosrusiczki/japr) (Jekyll Asset Pipeline Reborn).
* January 14, 2014 - Thanks to my guerilla marketing campaign, which involved leaving comments with links to my repository on the original repository's issues and pull requests, the first contributions by other people appear on my fork.
