Github Pages renders blank page

Question

I just pushed a blank Jekyll site to my github pages. https://louissafety.github.io/ However, instead of rending the default jekyll page, it renders the blank page. What could be wrong.

It works fine on the local machine.

Github page : https://github.com/louissafety

This seems fixed after GitHub Pages updated to Jekyll 3.3 – DirtyF Oct 10 '16 at 19:57 — DirtyF, Oct 10 '16 at 19:57

While your site is properly setup to use jekyll, it's using ruby gems that are not available to github-pages.

The only lines that you're supposed to have in your Gemfile are: source 'https://rubygems.org' gem 'github-pages', group: :jekyll_plugins

Any other gems or includes may not be available to Github Pages, causing the jeykll biuld to fail

I removed the Gemfile and pushed the files. But still gets the blank page. – Noushad Moidunny Oct 09 '16 at 16:06
now does it build locally? i'm guessing not, because you don't have `minima` installed. you need to pull `minima` into your repo and get that building locally first. you can use the `github-pages` gem to test – StephenG Oct 09 '16 at 16:54

If you try to use a custom theme for which the gem is not whitelisted by GitHub, you might need to declare the custom theme in your _config.yml file as remote_theme: github_user/repo, and remove it from your Gemfile.

Here is my Gemfile:

source "https://rubygems.org"
gem 'github-pages', group: :jekyll_plugins

And the interesting part of my _config.yml:

remote_theme: pawamoy/jekyll-readthedocs

To build locally, just run bundle exec jekyll serve.
