Jekyll: ERROR files not found

Question

I just setup a local jekyll instance for github pages. After following all the instructions on GitHub and getting all the files into the local repository, I ran jekyll (sudo bundle exec jekyll serve).

I get the following errors:

^CSeans-MacBook-Air:docs-gh-pages seanmcintyre$ sudo bundle exec jekyll serve

I've checked and all the files are actually there.

How do I go about fixing this?

Prob because Jekyll doesn't know about them, so they're not compiling into the build folder, _site. Try adding this in the _config.yml file:

include:
  - _static

If that doesn't work, just remove the underscore and Jekyll will automatically include in the build. That's prob best way anyway.
