Local Jekyll doesn't generate proper RSS feed

I use Jekyll with Github Pages. I don't use the Jekyll-Feed plugin because I want to build a specific feed with my own configuration. The feed on Github Pages works perfectly fine and generates the content the way it should. But when I want to do this locally the feed content is in Markdown instead of the generated HTML. The code for the feed is found on https://github.com/frankmeeuwsen/DTD-Blog/blob/master/feed.xml

How can this happen? Is there a change in how Jekyll builds the site locally and remote? Is there something else I should look at? Any help pointing in a direction is appreciated.

While Jekyll builds a local site and a remote site almost identically, there may be differences between how GitHub Pages build a site and how Jekyll builds a site if there are version discrepancies.

GitHub Pages uses only the versions listed in https://pages.github.com/versions/

So, to ensure you have the same "bundle of gems" locally and at remote, use github-pages gem in your Gemfile:

gem "github-pages"

Note: You'll not be able to use plugins not listed in the link above, when building with the github-pages gem
