Issues with permalinks in stylesheets

[bsmithgall]

It looks like jekit doesn't like sites configured with a baseurl. For example, jekit doesn't seem to like the pittsburgh-procurement-explorer site (github link and screenshot attached below). The way this project is set up uses gh-pages as an orphan branch checked out directly into the _site directory, if that might cause problems (details on how that works are available here).

What does this mean: “an orphan branch checked out directly into the _site directory” ?

[bsmithgall]

This is how I create the gh-pages branch (before running jekyll build):

git clone git@github.com:codeforamerica/pittsburgh-procurement-explorer.git -b gh-pages _site

That’s weird. Jekyll is supposed to control the contents of _site, deleting and re-creating them as needed.
