Upgrading Jekyll and dependencies for github pages

Question

I originally installed my local github pages through the wizard/web interface that Github pages offered.

I'm now stuck with older versions of Jekyll and dependencies in my Gemfile.lock:

https://github.com/bram-atmire/bram-atmire.github.io/blob/master/Gemfile.lock

The ruby gem github-pages gives me a clue as what the most recent versions are: https://rubygems.org/gems/github-pages

But what's the recommended way to perform these upgrades? Can I just manually update the version number for any dependency? Or is there a trick to just get the last, standardized Gemfile?

Answer 1

Delete you Gemfile.lock and run a bundle update command.

You will get up to date dependencies.

In the future, you can simply use bundle update to update your dependencies.
