When I create a new blog or update it every time I need to use command prompt `jekyll serve` and `jekyll build`.

Isn’t there is any other easy way, so that we do not need to use command prompt every time we create or make modification in our blog posts.

I don’t find it hard - weird at first, sure.

If you host on GH you could just edit your repo and hit save and it will regenerate it automatically.

Why not just go with `jekyll serve` and leave it running? It rebuilds your blog any time you make a change. It has the added advantage of giving you a sandbox webserver so you can view your changes.
