install_github_pages_jekyll.md

install this: https://github.com/parkr/ruby-build-github

And then install the ruby version 2.1.7 rbenv install 2.1.7-github

go in the folder of your website. Run:

rbenv local 2.1.7-github

This will set the ruby version of your project to 2.1.7.

then:

gem install bundle

After this, make a Gemfile like this

source 'https://rubygems.org'

require 'json'
require 'open-uri'
versions = JSON.parse(open('https://pages.github.com/versions.json').read)
gem 'activesupport', '4.2.7'
gem 'github-pages', versions['github-pages'], group: :jekyll_plugins

Note, 'activesupport' has to be declared before 'github-pages' run bundle install.

You should now be able to build your website using bundle exec jekyll build

and to run it locally with jekyll serve

If, when pushing to github the build fails, test it locally first: bundle exec jekyll build --verbose
