VS Code Markdown Preview + GH Pages?

Fundamentally, I'd love for my math/markdown notes to be portable, not just viewable via a markdown reader. Ideally, with as little work as possible I'd LOVE it if I could just publish my .md as Jekyll posts hosted on Github Pages. Unfortunately as far as I can tell, GH Pages used kramdown which accomodates math-mode for MathJax rather than KaTeX.
