Hosting a PWA with Jekyll and Github pages

Dec 1, 2022

In order to have a Progressive Web App (PWA) hosted in GitHub and served as part of your Jekyll generated website we need to follow several steps listed bellow.

Add a manifest.json file

Using a web app manifest, we are signalling to the browser that the website can be installed and a regular app and that it can work offline.

Add a Service Worker

The Service Worker are a proxy between the web app, the website and the network (when available).

Generate app icons
