When I run Jekyll serve on Git Bash I get the following warning: 

Please add the following to your Gemfile to avoid polling for changes:
gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?

After adding the Gemfile I get another error message.

Could not find gem 'wdm (>= 0.1.0) x64-mingw32' in any of the gem sources
listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine.

I tried installing Ruby Devkit to fix this issue but I only end up getting the following error messages.

$ ruby dk.rb install
[INFO] Skipping existing gem override for 'C:/Ruby200-x64'
[WARN] Skipping existing DevKit helper library for 'C:/Ruby200-x64'

$ gem install json --platform=ruby
ERROR: Error installing json:
The 'json' native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from 'http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads' and follow the instructions
at 'http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit'

You need to run bundle install after adding the wdm gem to your Gemfile to download it.

It seems you have installed devkit before, and it skips the new installation, try

ruby dk.rb install --force

  • One should really follow the steps at https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit to install the devkit. Then, it perfectly works also when using [chocolatey](http://chocolatey.org/) - `choco install ruby2.devkit`. – koppor Nov 12 '16 at 20:29

Need to add wdm into bundle after downloading it. Try

bundle add wdm
