Hi all,

I use my Mac with an admin and a user account. Now, the admin is used only to administrate the system. I would like to use jekyll with the user (non-admin) since once the site is setup, I just need to write a file and push it to github.

Is there a workaround or should I use sudo for every action? is this ok, or do you suggest to use the admin account?
