When will Github update the version of Jekyll for Github pages

[chemacabeza]

Hello people!

I recently started using Github pages (the ones whose domain are "something.github.io") and what is generated in my local (using Jekyll with version 4.3.3) is very different from what is generated in the Github page. According to this page Github seems to use the version 3.10.0 of Jekyll.

Does anyone know if Github will update the version of Jekyll to a more recent one?

Cheers!

Hi,

if you need features from Jekyll 4.x, one workaround is to use GitHub Actions to build your site and deploy it to GitHub Pages, allowing you to use the latest Jekyll version locally and on GitHub​(
GitHub
). Alternatively, other platforms like Netlify allow for greater flexibility in managing Jekyll versions​(
GitHub
).

For now, GitHub is sticking with Jekyll 3.x for stability and compatibility reasons.

Update your Gemfile
Ensure you have the correct Jekyll version in your Gemfile.

With Ruby :

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "jekyll", "~> 4.3.3"

Plugins and other dependencies

gem "jekyll-feed", "~> 0.15"
