-Replace `gem "jekyll"` with:

-```
-gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
-gem "jekyll-remote-theme"
-```
-
-Run `bundle update` and verify that all gems install properly.
-
-Add `remote_theme: "mmistakes/minimal-mistakes"` to your `_config.yml` file.

-Then add [`jekyll-remote-theme`](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme) to the `plugins` (previously gems) array in your `_config.yml` file like so:
-
-```
-plugins:
-  - jekyll-remote-theme
-```
+Add `remote_theme: "mmistakes/minimal-mistakes"` to your `_config.yml` file. Remove any other `theme:` or `remote_theme:` entry.
