As per this comment by @TWiStErRob, there are still references to the legacy github-pages gem in the docs:

• Find a maintainer or update support condition pages-gem#890 (comment)

Such as:

• https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/creating-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll#creating-your-site
  • https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/creating-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll.md

Yet as best as I have been able to tell, this gem has been unmaintained and considered legacy since GitHub pages switched to GitHub actions in 2022, if not earlier:

• Support for Jekyll 4.0 pages-gem#651 (comment)

It would be good if the docs could be updated appropriately, and ideally if an appropriate team could officially mark the github-pages gem deprecated/legacy so that people stop asking.

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Everything to do with the legacy github-pages gem.

Many thanks for reporting that @0xdevalias — we'll investigate this internally.

Unfortunately as we're not GitHub Support, I can't guarantee a timeframe for the response, but I'll leave this issue open until we can say something definitive.

Thanks for your interest in the GitHub docs!
