Invalid theme folder: _sass & terminal hang

[frhong]

Hi Michael, first of all, thanks for the theme. My question is about "Invalid theme folder: _sass" and terminal hang when I ran this locally. Here are the steps I took:

(1) Folked https://github.com/mmistakes/mm-github-pages-starter to my repo
(2) Git pull into a brand new folder locally.
(3) Try BEJS (Bundle exec Jekyll serve) locally.

Then...the message below:

Richard:blog.richardhong rhmbp18$ bundle exec jekyll serve

Invalid theme folder: _sass

The terminal hung and the site was never served into the localhost.

May I check what might have gone wrong? Thanks again.

I've reproduced the error line Invalid theme folder: _sass, but it appears irrelevant to me.

Please be aware that the remote-theme method fetches the theme from GitHub (default branch) every time you run jekyll. You most likely want to ensure that you can do a git clone on this repository before running bundle exec jekyll whatever. If network connectivity is an issue for you, consider switching to Gem-based installation method.

I believe it’s a quirk with the remote theme gem plugin or Jekyll directly and not the theme. Sorry I don’t have much other insight on how to fix it.
