Zach wichi version of Jekyll were you using? Did you use the latest
version of the script to generate the site?

I'm just wondering, why the commit for your blog post modified all those files.

In any case, that can be prevented by taking a look at the script
output (which should prompt you) and manually adding *only* the
relevant files if needed, and discard the rest?
