Jekyll includes not working in GitHub Pages without a template

I'm trying to publish my own website on GitHub Pages. I want to include some repeating parts of code (header) in many files so that I don't always have to copy-paste them. I wanted to use the include functionality offered by Jekyll:

{% include example.html %}

I've put the file I want to include in the _includes directory, however, for some reason it seems to work only if I use a layout in the main file. Am I doing something wrong? If not, is it possible to use Jekyll includes without a layout? (Because I have set all my html files to work without it)

My best guess is you are also removing the yaml tags when you remove the layout. Try this in your index.html file

---
---
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>First try</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    {% include first-try.html %}
  </body>
</html>

You need those --- tags to process Liquid in the file.
