We can avoid this by putting our plugin Gems in a “jekyll_plugins” group which Jekyll includes automatically. Usually we’d have to also specify our plugin Gems in _config.yml so Jekyll knows about them.
It’s important to always include Jekyll in our Gemfile. We can include a version number if want a specific version. Unless we have an advanced use case will be fine. Let’s create a Gemfile for a Jekyll site using the jekyll-feed and jekyll-seo-tag plugins.Ī Gemfile requires at least one source which tells us where to download the Gems. We use Gemfiles on Jekyll sites when we have Jekyll plugins. What is a Gemfile?Ī Gemfile is Ruby’s dependency management system or in other words, a list of Gems a Ruby project needs to run. cd blog & jekyll build gem install bundler jekyll & cd blog. to skip rdoc and ri generation, which makes gems install much faster.
Jekyll itself is a Gem as well many Jekyll plugins including jekyll-feed, jekyll-seo-tag and jekyll-archives. Various errors Ive got: /bin/sh: 1: jekyll: not found Could not find. and they give commands like gem, irb, and rails a place to find your preferences. This allows us to take someone else’s code and drop it into our own project. So what exactly do they mean and how do we use them? What is a Gem?Ī Gem is a bundle of code we can include in Ruby projects. The terms Gem, Gemfile and the Bundler are often used in the Ruby community.
