Hello Users,

did you know a good working tutorial to use GitHub Pages with Jekyll 3.9.0?

My system

```auto
jekyll -v
jekyll 3.9.0

git --version
git version 2.30.2

ruby -v
ruby 2.7.4p191 (2021-07-07 revision a21a3b7d23) [x86_64-linux-gnu]

https://jekyllrb.com/docs/troubleshooting/#no-sudo

```

I want to create a Jekyll page on GiHub.

Thank you

Follow the GH tutorial!

> **[Quickstart for GitHub Pages - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/quickstart)**
>
> You can use GitHub Pages to showcase some open source projects, host a blog, or even share your résumé. This guide will help get you started on creating your next website.

Once you commit files changes the site will build and deploy. Its simple.

* * *

Also for a theme, go to repo settings, enable GH Pages and you will also see a theme chooser where you can preview about 10 themes which are standard for GH Pages.

Alternatively here are the gems in the environment and includes themes

Hello, i have many trouble with the Debian 11 default (see the first post) package.

```auto
git  
jekyll new stevengghp.github.io
cd stevengghp.github.io

## Running Jekyll as Non-Superuser (no sudo!)
## adding the following lines to the end of your .bashrc file:
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems
export PATH=$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH

sudo apt-get install ruby-dev ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-devel
gem install http_parser.rb -v '0.8.0' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
gem install http_parser.rb
gem install webrick
bundle install

bundle exec jekyll serve --open-url --livereload ## Error

## Message:
/gems/pathutil-0.16.2/lib/pathutil.rb:502: warning: Using the last argument as keyword parameters is deprecated
## Solution https://github.com/envygeeks/pathutil/issues/4
gem install jekyll

jekyll new stevengghp.github.io
## Error: undefined method `delegate_method_as' for Jekyll::Drops::CollectionDrop:Class (NoMethodError)
gem install jekyll jekyll-feed jekyll-gist jekyll-paginate jekyll-sass-converter jekyll-coffeescript

## Message:
have already activated eventmachine 1.3.0.dev.1, but your Gemfile requires eventmachine 1.2.7. Prepending `bundle exec` to your command may solve this. (Gem::LoadError)
## Solution: https://talk.jekyllrb.com/t/jekyll-installation-problems/5436
gem install eventmachine -v '1.2.7'

bundle exec jekyll serve --open-url --livereload ## it works fine

## news Test, delete folder stevengghp.github.io
jekyll new stevengghp.github.io
cd stevengghp.github.io
bundle exec jekyll serve --open-url --livereload ## livereload doesn*t work
gem install eventmachine -v '1.2.7'
bundle update

git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit" 
git config --global user.email "stevengghp@example.com"                                                                      
git config --global user.name "stevengghp" 

echo "# stevengghp.github.io" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/stevengghp/stevengghp.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

```

@MichaelCurrin  
Did you have newer demo repositories?

I think isn’t a good idea to use **only** Debian 11 Bullseye sources.

I set this thread at solved for me.

Thank’s all.
