Updating the GitHub Pages gem

If the github-pages gem on your computer is out of date with the github-pages gem on the GitHub Pages server, your site may look different when built locally than when published on GitHub. To avoid this, regularly update the github-pages gem on your computer.

  • If you installed Bundler, run bundle update github-pages.
  • If you don’t have Bundler installed, run gem update github-pages.
