Add JEKYLL_ENV=production to rakefile

I have this script that builds my Jekyll static webstite ready to be used on Github Pages. I need to pass JEKYLL_ENV=production to the build arguments to be sure that I can use google analytics (there is a {% if jekyll.environment == 'production' %} tag in my template).

For instance if I did not use this script to publish I would build the site with JEKYLL_ENV=production jekyll build

I however have no knowledge of Ruby and Rakefiles...

I understand what it does but don't know where to put the modifications. I feel like it would look like (wrong code) 

Jekyll::Site.new(Jekyll.configuration({
    "source"      => ".",
    "destination" => "_site"
  }).build({
    "JEKYLL_ENV" => "production"
  })).process

Here is the original script, thanks!

require "rubygems"
require "tmpdir"

require "bundler/setup"
require "jekyll"

GITHUB_REPONAME = "my_reponame"


desc "Generate blog files"
task :generate do
  Jekyll::Site.new(Jekyll.configuration({
    "source"      => ".",
    "destination" => "_site"
  })).process
end


desc "Generate and publish blog to gh-pages"
task :publish => [:generate] do
  Dir.mktmpdir do |tmp|
    cp_r "_site/.", tmp

    pwd = Dir.pwd
    Dir.chdir tmp

    system "git init"
    system "git add ."
    message = "Site updated at #{Time.now.utc}"
    system "git commit -m #{message.inspect}"
    system "git remote add origin [email protected]:#{GITHUB_REPONAME}.git"
    system "git push origin master --force"

    Dir.chdir pwd
  end
end

In Ruby, environment variables can be accessed in ENV, so if for some reason you can't specify it on the command line when you run your script, I think it will work to just specify it there:

ENV["JEKYLL_ENV"] = "production"

You ought to be able to put this anywhere in the Rakefile before the tasks.
