+# SSL Fix for Jekyll Build
+
+If you encounter SSL certificate verification errors when running Jekyll builds, you can use the provided `openssl_fix.rb` script as a workaround.
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the Jekyll build with the `RUBYOPT` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+RUBYOPT="-r./openssl_fix.rb" bundle exec jekyll build --incremental --config _config_base.yml,_config_cockroachdb.yml
+```
+
+## What it does
+
+This script disables SSL certificate verification for Ruby's OpenSSL library. It's intended as a temporary workaround for local development environments where SSL certificate issues may occur.
+
+⚠️ **Warning**: This script disables SSL verification and should only be used in local development environments. Do not use in production.
