Jekyll build won't generate a new folder

Help

Jekyll build won’t build a new folder in _site despite it being present in the working directory.

hmmmmmmm. Could you add some more info? what is the folder named? is there a link to your repo? what is in your config file?

folders that begin with an underscore or period are ignored by default.

Seems like a shutdown and restart fixed the problem.

Thanks for your help.
