Why:

I was just clicking through some of the pages this reusable is included on, and I think in most places it's used the wording would probably be better as:

While the github-pages gem remains...

Instead of:

While this github-pages gem remains...

As many places it's used are seemingly talking about Jekyll more generically; so 'this' doesn't make as much sense as 'the' RE: the pages-gem IMO.

Nooooo, I changed that thinking it would read better, but I was wrong. 😢 If you feel like opening a PR to fix it that would probably be fastest, because it takes a while for small PRs to get reviewed internally, but I can also open it if you don't feel like doing it.
