Jekyll build throws error

Question

I'm trying to compile a static site with Jekyll, but it keeps throwing an error when compiling. I was originally using grunt-shell to run the 'jekyll build' command which worked nicely with no errors, but the site wasn't being generated. When I ran 'jekyll build' on it's own then I got an error.

I pushed the project to Github to show the setup, maybe that helps.

The specific error, with trace, I'm getting is:

You specified source: ./_pages in your config file, so Jekyll is looking there for files to read. And as you can see in the trace:

No such file or directory - C:/Users/Francisco/Documents/GitHub/Pretty-D2L/_pages/ (Errno::ENOENT)
