Hi aymerick, sorry about contacting you this way, this is not an issue, it is the only way I could find to contact you aside from twitter's 140 characters.

I found your tutorial/blog post about setting up jekyll with bower and grunt however, I am a little confused. Could you let me know what I am missing?

Why do you add the .nojekyll file and include it in the _config.yml? Doesn't github need to run jekyll in order to create the _site directory structure?

If the answer is executing the Rakefile from your local machine populates the _site dir, how does that work? _site is in the .gitignore so even when you run the Rakefile > grunt build > exec:jekyll > jekyll build --trace, the destination _site contents will not be pushed.

Also, I don't understand how the vendor assets are being persisted. The directory is also in the .gitignore

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.
