Github – Add syntax highlighting to gh-pages

githubgithub-pagessyntax highlighting

Is there an easy way to add syntax highlighting to my various plugin's gh-pages using github's Pygments?

I know that every page runs through the Jekyll engine and provides syntax highlighting (ref). But I don't want to install a blog. I just want syntax highlighting applied to the code blocks in my gh-pages.

I guess I could always just include a different plugin with my gh-pages…

Pages already does pygments, there's nothing to install. Just use it!
