I'm currently in the process of migrating a Jekyll blog to a new theme and am now running into issues while pushing my site to GitHub pages and running the Jekyll site with the --safe flag.
Right now, the Jekyll site runs perfectly fine locally but I started hitting issues when pushing up to GitHub pages.
As a debugging measure, I read to ensure the Jekyll site runs without issues with the --safe flag which it does not.
However, I'm not exactly sure what the issue is here. Here's my output running it with bundle exec jekyll serve --safe --trace --verbose:

Reading that trace, I understand the issue is happening here but I'm not exactly sure how to fix this? (repo link)
Any ideas?
I finally got this working but I took a different approach rather than solving the --safe flag issue.
Instead, I now have two branches. One is for normal Jekyll development locally and the other is for pushing to GitHub pages (only the _site directory).
The entire process for that is outlined here.
