Fix for failed GitHub Pages

Did you ever get this email?

The page build failed for the `master` branch with the following error:

The hydeout theme is not currently supported on GitHub Pages. For more information, see https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-jekyll-theme-to-your-github-pages-site/.

For information on troubleshooting Jekyll see:

If you have any questions you can contact us by replying to this email.

I finally tracked down my problem…

In my _config.yml file I had set the variable:

github:
  repository: https://github.com/theholy7

and this was in conflict with Github’s metadata variable. As soon as I removed it from my file, the build went through!

Hope this helps,

Jose
