Develop locally

[sudo-Boris]

Hi! 👋
How would I go on to develop my website locally? Constantly pushing a minor change and letting the GitHub pages action build the website seems suboptimal.

When I want to host locally by running bundle exec jekyll liveserve the page is not found and when I refresh it I get redirected to the website hosted by GitHub pages.

Do I have to change something in the _config.yaml?

Once I open localhost I also get this error message:

Try with bundle exec jekyll serve

Hi,
I was trying to get my website locally (in VC code) and after more than an hour I've succeeded :)
I've written following readme, maybe it will help :

`to run this website localy:
0) instal ruby on rails and jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/

1. change the GemFile as follow:
   comment the line:
   #gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
   uncomment following lines:
   gem "jekyll"
   gem "jekyll-paginate"
   gem "jekyll-gist"
   gem "jekyll-redirect-from"
   gem "kramdown-parser-gfm"
   gem "webrick"

2. bundle install

3. bundle exec jekyll serve

4. open http://127.0.0.1:4000/ in your browser`
