Bundler: Don' t run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and
Bundler: installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root
Bundler: users on this machine.
Bundler: The dependency tzinfo-data (> = 0) will be unused by any of the platforms Bundler is installing for. Bundler is installing for ruby but the dependency is only for x86-mingw32, x86-mswin32, x64-mingw32, java. To add those platforms to the bundle, run `bundle lock --add-platform x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32 x64-mingw32 java`.

Q
What is Jekyll?
A
Jekyll is a tool used for developing simple and static websites. It is similar to CMS which functions without any database.
Q
Can I use Bootstrap with Jekyll?
A
Yes, of course. You can use any HTML starter template/boilerplate with Jekyll.
Jekyll (and GitHub Pages) has built-in support for SCSS, thus, if you use the Bootstrap SCSS version - Jekyll will auto-build the bootstrap.css from the sources letting you change colors, fonts and much more
