As others have said, your tutorial is great! You saved my bacon. Im not on apple silicon but a 2015 MBP. No issues. You’re an angel. Now I see the joy and ease of Jekyll.
this video is a life saver. I have to work with Jekyll every now and then and I usually have to reinstall it because I have a new computer and it takes me days to get it going. This video is so helpful I can't put it into words.
O MY GOODNESS!!! I followed exactly what you did in the video and got EVERYTHING RIGHT first time!!! No errors! Nothing!! It all worked well!!Thank you!!!!!!
Thanks for that Bill! Recently got my new M1 Mac and was setting up my development environment and ran into some issues. With your video and StackOverflow I was able to get Jekyll up and running again. I am using Chruby Manager and forgot to export some PATH in my zshrc file, or rather the chruby tutorial failed to mention that part. It fixed the initial jekyll bundler gem install which was failing. Just commenting in case other people ran into the same issues. Also, make sure that Xcode is installed and you accepted the license. Apart from that, your tutorial worked like a charm! Cheers
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your tutorial worked perfectly for me first try, and it was super clear and easy to follow. Previously I had tried to set up Jekyll by myself and it was such a nightmare, I got stuck at one point and the top stackoverflow answer to that problem was just some guy selling his paid script for setting up ruby 😔 I really liked how you provided a more detailed explanation of what each command does in the video, but also had all the commands ready to copy and paste on your GitHub repo. In conclusion this was a very epic tutorial and I’m going to start going through your playlist for setting up GitHub pages, thanks!!
Great video. I wish I found this earlier today. I don’t know ruby and so spent a lot of time updating it to 3.1.0. Ended up using a combo of RVM and Homebrew. I’m considering removing it all and following these steps for a clean installation.
Thank you for the comment and yes, I created this video because I too know nothing about Ruby. I know just exactly what needs to be known to use Jekyll, so hopefully you find it helpful. If you do a bunch of uninstalls, I recommend you completely quit terminal before restarting with my videos and probably a good old fashioned restart of the computer too :-)
Thank you so much, Bill. I didn’t succeed the first time, then I uninstalled all the versions of Ruby I installed before. Then I did it again, it still didn’t work. I thought there should be something wrong with the PATH. So I empty the .zshrc file and then add the path. Finally it worked. Although I don’t understand why it works now😂, I am happy to go continue the GitHub pages videos. Thanks!
Many thanks. I did get an error while installing Jekyll though : "fatal error: 'iostream' file not found". It turned out homebrew did not install all of the Xcode Command Line Tools and it was missing about 1 Gb. I manually removed the "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools" folder and installed it again using "xcode-select --install". Notably this time I needed to accept a licence agreement. After that I could install Jekyll.
Bill, this is great. I was getting weird bus crash errors, but this fixed it. Should I be surprised Apple ships Macbooks with code that doesn't work? I guess not 🙂. Now, if only I could fix my issues with their shipped C compiler..
Glad you got it sorted out! I think Apple ships these things for their own purposes, not for ours so always install your own products is a good rule of thumb :)
So great! I just spent hours trying to get Jekyll to work! Thank you so much for this video! I have a short maybe odd question: I created a webpage using github pages. I just started to create html code, uploaded it to my repository and hosted it then on the github server. Right now I am trying to merge my html code with jekyll because of the jekyll SEO plugin. What would be the easiest way to do this? Copy/pasting my html folder structure in the project you created in this video? Looking forward to your feedback! Thank you!
Thank you and I am happy you found the video useful. Honestly, it is hard to answer that question without knowing more about your situation, but in general, simply copying and pasting web pages works just fine so long as you put the yaml front matter on the top of the page. You may also have to adjust some links using Liquid code. You can check out my other Jeklyll and GitHub pages links here on this channel to get more insight into that.
Thanks, Bill. I almost gave up before I found your video.This is a life-saver!
You are very welcome!

Great news! So happy to hear it worked! Things go out of date so quickly so you never know
This is the best video and tutorial on Jekyll in the internet, thank you so much.
You are very welcome and thank you! A great 2023!

Great news, thank you for letting me know how you got Jekyll up and running with Chruby. At some point I might make a video of that as well!

Thank you! It took an epically long time to create so I very much appreciate your comment!
I had this EXACT same experience (down to the weird stackoverflow post lol). Then I found this video and the storm clouds parted 😊
@@steve-holt-l7i Alright! Great news! I am very happy so many people are enjoying this video!
Thank you for the video! I am happy to run jekyll on my M1 PRO after watching and following your instructions.
Great news and thank you!

Yeah, I never could quite figure out Ruby path's since all I ever wanted to do was just Jekyll :-) Glad you got it running though!
i just love you you saved me what i would do without you
I'm glad this worked for you!
Thank you for your work, I really appreciate it
You are very welcome!

Very good and detailed video. Love it
Excellent! Thank you!

Thank you very much! I decided I might as well record it while setting up the computer. I’m really glad it helped you!
