Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "jekyll":
  In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
    jekyll (= 4.0.0)

  In Gemfile:
    github-pages was resolved to 4, which depends on
      jekyll (= 1.1.2)

    jekyll-compose was resolved to 0.11.0, which depends on
      jekyll (>= 3.7, < 5.0)

Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only
the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

I have the same problem. I forced jekyll-theme-hacker to be 0.1.1 and received a different error.

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "jekyll":
  In Gemfile:
    jekyll (~> 4.0.0)

    jekyll-theme-hacker (~> 0.1.1) was resolved to 0.1.1, which depends on
      jekyll (~> 3.5)

According to the release history, @benbalter fixed this on 22 March 2019. However, the 0.1.1 release fails to include this fix. Consequently, this is broken. Please push this release to production. Help us @benbalter, you're our only hope. (Okay, so I know I can install this locally, but I'm trying to use OOB gh-pages and themes.

I ended up abandoning use of this gem because of this.

Hi, @brando90 I was encountering the same issue so I downgraded my version of jekyll to 3.7.3 by changing the following line in Gemfile:
gem "jekyll", "~> 4.0.0"
to
gem "jekyll", "~> 3.7.3"

and then in terminal, i ran the command:
bundle install

It fixed the issue for me permanently. I think this jekyll theme doesn't support jekyll 4.0.0 yet. Of course, the next step was
bundle exec jekyll serve

and voila.

I can confirm that the solution above works, but that doesn't mean this gem shouldn't be fixed!
@benbalter please consider a new release for the gem so people don't need to do a hack to use the theme.

@clumsymass64 Works for me too.

@benbalter / @parkr What would you need for a PR or other things to wrap what we have up here and do a 0.1.2 (or 0.2.0) release, is it just the gemspec? The last release of this was 0.1.1 from 8364d7a about 2 years ago and in the meantime looks like there's been a few PRs merged, notably one relaxing the version restriction for Jekyll 4.x.

Main reason for wanting to get this updated is for those people running through the Jekyll quickstart. I'm guessing what's happening is that they do a local build and when exploring themes go to GitHub Pages and notice that there's a dozen supported themes which they'll try, but they'll not realize that GitHub pages only on Jekyll 3.8.7, and are probably not going to figure out that they need to switch the gemfile to using the github pages bundle.
