Trouble with running the project?

There's could be an issue with Gem package manager and the gems on your local machine. If so, run:

bundle install

For more info about bundle go to Bundler.

Want to help?

Great! Here is how you can install the local generator to test changes.

1. Git clone your fork locally.
2. npm install inside the new directory.
3. npm link - This makes your local system sync with the changes you make
4. mkdir app
5. Inside the new directory, initiate yo jekyll-starter-kit
