File not found errors when trying to add mediumish theme to github pages

[samajain]

Hello,

I have spent considerable amount of time trying to integrate the mediumish theme with my github pages but it always ends up failing in build with the following error.

Liquid Exception: Could not locate the included file 'pagination.html' in any of ["/github/workspace/_includes", "/usr/local/bundle/gems/jekyll-theme-primer-0.6.0/_includes"]. Ensure it exists in one of those directories and is not a symlink as those are not allowed in safe mode. in docs/index.html

I don't know why I am getting this error despite the file being present in _includes folder! While I am able to serve the website on my localhost without making any changes to the code or any file, it is refusing to get auto deployed through github actions to the website.

I am a newbie in html/css/jekyll so any help would be greatly appreciated!
