Gem or RubyGems is a package manager for Ruby, just like how we have npm, pip and cargo for Node, Python and Rust. Jekyll must be downloaded as a gem package, so we use gem command to do that. But for building the website locally we need lot of other tools, github-pages gem provides these tools for us, jekyll is also packaged along with github-pages. Therefore you need to install only github-pages gem.

Going further in this post, I will be explaining how each of these requirements was satisfied. After exploration and quick googling I found this tool called jekyll, to my surprise, it more of less supported all my requirements (with some additions).
