Jekyll 3 and above is using rouge (An elegant, extendable code highlighter written in pure Ruby.).
See also "Syntax Highlighting in Jekyll".

In order to add a custom syntax highlighter, you submit a pull request to that project. As an example, consider the PR 650: LiveScript support, for issue 309.

Once that PR is merged, you can use it on GitHub pages.

Note 2022, as noted in rouge-ruby/rouge issue 1902:

The old website rouge.jneen.net was deployed on the Heroku platform. Since the Free tier has been retired, our application is no longer available. I believe @jneen is looking at hosting the site somewhere else.
