Gemfile breaks jekyll s

[ghost]

The current Gemfile includes GH pages, but for jekyll s to work, with jekyll-watch, you need

gem "jekyll", "~> 3.8.4"

Use bundle exec jekyll serve

Maybe add this to readme?

This still doesn't execute due to the GH pages dependency. Should that be installed on local machines as well?

This should work:

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

If you can confirm this, I will add it to the README.

bundle install is an extremely long process. It took like 5 minutes. Isn't it possible to have a different Gemfile for gh pages and for people who clone the repo? Simply changing the gh pages gem to jekyll takes like one second and works.

We could just recommend people to run sed -i 's/gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins/gem "jekyll", "~> 3.8.4"/g' Gemfile, and if on Windows to make this change manually.

This takes under 1 minute for me.

As I wrote in #582, the reason we use it it is explained here.

I guess this could be related to how we initially installed Jekyll? Anyway, after running bundle install once, it's very fast the next time.
