Could you try the following procedure: #17 (comment) ?

@DirtyF I am trying to follow the instructions, but I can't seem to find the proper libcurl download - the only windows libcurl downloads are for cygwin, and I don't think that is correct?

from jekyll-remote-theme.

A pointer in the direction of the solution could be https://stackoverflow.com/a/47754520/873282. For me, Jekyll now starts, but I get following error:

Remote Theme: Using theme mmistakes/minimal-mistakes
jekyll 3.6.2 | Error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates

from jekyll-remote-theme.

@koppor I'm getting the same error. Did you have any luck resolving this yet?

from jekyll-remote-theme.

@jengalas No, I just downloaded the theme to my local git repository to keep things moving. I could have used the jeckyll docker image as another workaround, but that seemed to be too complex for my case.

from jekyll-remote-theme.

Thank you! I'll investigate the docker image if necessary.

@benbalter Do you have any chance to review the issue? It's kind a mess around all that stuff with GitHub pages and it's impossible to find any fully suitable workaround😕

from jekyll-remote-theme.

As this issue is related to GitHub Pages install on Windows, feel free to contact GitHub support.

@DirtyF The situation isn't that simple as described here. As far as I got, the issue is not even related this component - it's caused by Typhoeus. However, you are probably right - it's better to contact them. Will write a letter to see whether they could facilitate the process 😉

Probably, it's better to create a composite issue here: https://github.com/github/pages-gem. There is a related issue already registered, however it doesn't solve the issue entirely. You will still see an error if you use remote theme.

@koppor Once you clone the theme locally, how do you point to it so you can proceed further??

from jekyll-remote-theme.

Hit the same issue on #9. As far as I could tell libcurl was installed properly and I had a valid certificate. Eventually gave up trying to get remote theme working on Windows thinking it was something related to my specific environment. Maybe not...

@nesdis This is the "magic" of Jekyll. Here my repo: https://github.com/koppor/wiki.flupp.de/ - I followed the how to of the "minimal mistakes theme" here: https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/quick-start-guide/

from jekyll-remote-theme.

I only have Windows machines to use for development, and I couldn't resolve the certificate error. I ended up hosting on Netlify instead of Github Pages; no problems.

from jekyll-remote-theme.

Version 174 of the Pages Gem makes the Jekyll Remote Theme dependency optional, and should resolve issues for Windows users trying to preview sites locally that don't use a remote theme. Those wanting to preview a theme locally will need to following the troubleshooting steps above to install cURL in their local environment.

Version 0.3.0 uses Ruby's native Net:HTTP, instead of Typhoeus (Libcurl), which may alleviate this issue.

from jekyll-remote-theme.

Thanks @benbalter, looks like version 0.3.1 fixed the issue I had on Windows.
Not sure if this is a false positive as everything works as expected, but I'm seeing messages about invalid theme folders from Jekyll now:

I haven't seen that before, but think that's safe to ignore as it's an artifact of Jekyll looking for the _sass folder before the theme's been downloaded, but we configure it manually once it is.
