Communicating with Markdown issue with adding headers

Education GitHub Learning Lab
#1

Hello,
So what I’m doing is editing my header md file, and pushing the changes through Powershell CLI. These changes appear to be coming through the GitHubPages site: https://mattnewtonian.github.io/markdown-portfolio/.

HOWEVER, I cannot navigate to the next step in the tutorial. This is where I’m stuck: https://github.com/MattNewtonian/markdown-portfolio/pull/2

Can anyone please advise? Thanks so much!

There needs to be a space between the last # and the header text. If you look at markdown-portfolio/01-name.md at f0bd731ef905e4ded09a790560fb69a4fdc5634f · MattNewtonian/markdown-portfolio · GitHub you’ll see the headers aren’t recognized by the markdown renderer either.

That’s correct. But now I keep trying to edit this file with the workflow shown in the tutorial, so each time I need to do “git add …” and “git commit”, followed by “git push”. But it seems to not be recognizing my changes.

Here’s a photo of my workflow. Can you identify any problems? Thank you!

Looks like the file has been pushed successfully to the add-headers branch, as the output of the first git push command in your screenshot shows:

Is that where you want it? Or should it be on another branch?

Thank you for your reply and clarifying that I’m on the wrong branch. So I see that this is working right on the add-headers branch, so it needs to be pushed to main, correct? But when trying to merge it to the main branch, I get the following errors:


Review required
At least 1 approving review is required by reviewers with write access.
Merging is blocked
Merging can be performed automatically with 1 approving review.

Is this normal?

Requiring reviews before merging is a repository option. I assume it was enabled by the bot so it can steer merging (that’s what I saw in other courses).

You can disable that restriction in the repository settings (see About protected branches - GitHub Docs), but if you haven’t finished the course yet it might be better to do that first – I’m not sure if the bot would get confused otherwise. :wink:

I see. Well, I still can’t get this to work and don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Every. f*cking. time with this Git business…

I fixed it by disabling that feature and now the tutorial is broken. You were right. Another hour wasted trying to learn this nonsense…

The instructions here don’t even make sense…
