I'm so sorry about that, @bampakoa!  The addres is listed incorrectly on my internal inbox - the correct address should be learninglab@github.com. ... View more

Hello again @bampakoa! Thank you for your patience.   I also had to check what "slugify" meant - I think it's just the practice of turning something like "My amazing course" into "my-amazing-course" automatically.   If you can confirm you're logged in and you still get a 404, could you please send a message to learning-lab@github.com and include a link to this thread? I want to make sure you get the help you need, and there we can coordinate a possible video call or other help to make sure you are successful. ... View more

  >  BTW, since Write a Learning Lab Course course can be used by individual accounts, it would be helpful if instructions for  Create the draft course could be updated to reflect this.   I completely agree, @bampakoa. There is an open issue for this point, but it hasn't yet been addressed.   > Navigate to your course by going to https://lab.github.com/:owner/:title, replacing :owner with the login of the owner and :title with the slugified title of course.  I am trying to access it using  https://lab.github.com/bampakoa/lab-starter  but I get the same error. I am wondering.... is  lab-starter  the  slugified title of the course ?   Ah - I see the problem. The title of the course comes from the `title` field in the `config.yml` file, NOT the name of the repository. I see your course is currently in draft form at this URL:  https://lab.github.com/bampakoa/my-amazing-course ... View more

Hi @bampakoa! I am also not seeing the course there.    The instructions ask you to create an organization, and fork the repository into that organization to use as the course. But, it looks like you'd like to have the learning lab course be owned by your user account.   That's totally fine - but you will need to follow some different instructions. You can find the docs for testing a course here. Let me know if this helps, or if you're still stuck. :) ... View more

Hello @okon32! Visual Studio uses your machine's installation of Git. Could it be possible that you don't have Git installed? This article may be helpful. ... View more

Hi @Absoblogginlutely! I can see how that would be a confusing user experience, I'm sorry about that.   I'm taking a look at your repositories, and it looks like the registrations all were from October of last year. Is this a security notification that you got due to a recent course, or from one that you had registered for in the past?   If it's one from October, I think you're right, many others also have probably gotten security notifications about their repositories.    I believe automated security fixes are a relatively new feature, so I am sure that you are not the only user who experienced these hiccups. Thank you for sharing here, especially for sharing your solution! Please let me know if there's anything we can help with. ... View more

Hi @Seniru! I was able to restore the post, so you can see the solution above. Let me know if you need more help beyond those instructions.    Thank you again @thinkh for posting them!   P.S.

Hmm, that's interesting @thinkh. Let's check to see if the file does in fact have the correct permissions. I'm not sure why that wouldn't be something to commit. To check if the file is executable, run `ls -al`. The output should have something like ` -rwxr-xr-x` listed before it.    Have you pushed the changes you do have? If so, is the course reacting as expected? ... View more

Hi @thinkh! I believe that the step is necessary - the file's correct permissions are required for GitHub Actions to execute the script.   This is absolutely possible on Windows! It depends a bit on which terminal or shell you're using.  If you're using Git Bash from git-scm.com, the commands would be identical to the ones listed in the course.    Which terminal are you using locally?  ...
