Look at the message at the end. The default gem you are installing only works with Jekyll 3 but you have Jekyll 4. So add jekyll 3 instead to your Gemfile and to bundle install to downgrade jekyll. Maybe delete the lock file. Or find someone who made a variation of the gem like a fork that works for jekyll 4. ---

If you are using GitHub Pages without GH Actions then you should use jekyll 3.8.5 and that will solve the problem. Unless you’re using a different flow and really need jekyll 4
