Issue
When you install locally, using bundle install you get one version. And GitHub Pages will always use its own version.
GitHub Pages will never use your Gemfile.lock to resolve dependencies when building your GitHub Pages website.
This fact is important for developers using the pages-gem gem as well as users of GitHub Pages in general.

I think the pages-gem should actually have it's Gemfile.lock published to deterministically install.
Made a PR here: https://github.com/github/pages-gem/pull/829 to be explicit about the pages-gem dependencies.
