Jekyll remote theme doesn't work locally
aaaah I was just bashing my head against this as well. I ran bundle exec jekyll serve --verbose and saw that jekyll-remote-theme was never being initialized at all (each plugin logs a Requiring: jekyll-<thing> line). Then I noticed this block in the Gemfile:
# If you have any plugins, put them here!group :jekyll_plugins do gem "jekyll-feed", "~> 0.6"endI added "gem jekyll-remote-theme" to that plugin block and that fixed it – doh!
There are a few notes in the jekyll changelogs about this Gemfile group, but I didn't find any of it super helpful in explaining what's going on here.
hope that helps!
