I'm very new to github pages and jekyll but I'm trying to start up my own personal website using them and every time I try to execute '$ bundle exec jekyll serve' it says 'Configuration File: none' even though there's a _config.yml file in the local directory. Along with this I get several other errors keeping me from reviewing my work (posted below). Any suggestions/solutions? myWebsite is the parent folder and jekyllRepo is the jekyll Repository that the _config.yml file and several others are in.
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

------------------------------------
No repo name found. Specify using PAGES_REPO_NWO environment variables, 'repository' in your configuration, or set up an 'origin' git remote pointing to your github.com repository.
Since you have not provided a link to your repository, I'll make some assumptions based on your terminal output. Therefore, this is going to be a trial and error answer.
You may have a Gemfile with gem 'github-pages', group: :jekyll_plugins
or it may contain
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem 'github-pages'
end
Either ways, move github-pages out of the :jekyll_plugins group. That is, you should have just a bare listing:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'github-pages'
