jekyll-seo-tag doesn't work within Github Pages

So I faced a problem while trying to add some SEO optimization for my simple static website served via Github Pages.

As the documentation says: https://help.github.com/articles/search-engine-optimization-for-github-pages/

I created the _config.yml file which includes next lines of code:

plugins:
  - jekyll-seo-tag

and pushed this file along with my website files, so the structure looks like this

The problem is that after linking to my website I see the
output

And the head tag includes following content

I need help in understanding why the SEO plugin doesn’t work. Thanks for all your replies and have a nice day!

    David Jacquel's answer helped so much and I managed to resolve a problem. More about that:

    I had to inject a valid front matter to resolve a problem e.g.

    ---
  layout: main
  title: Cheaterino
---

    After that I still didn't manage to deal with the problem since my index.html was minified and so do the front matter.

    After I disabled minification of the file everything worked!

    head tag content after plugin worked

    Thanks so much to David Jacquel!

    If you want any file to be processed you must add a front matter to it.

    Your index.html must be like :

    ---
# even an empty front matter is ok
---
<!DOCTYPE html>
