Hi @TheGreatCatsby! It looks like you've renamed the title of the pull request, but not the name of the file. To change the name of the file, you need to edit the file, then you can change the name of the file from that same page. You can also include the `/` character to nest the file. These docs on GitHub may help. Right now, the file is named "Catsby", but it should be named "_posts/0000-01-02-TheGreatCatsby.md". Let us know if you have any more questions!

Hi @DevilPup! I took a look at your repository, and it seems that things are going smoothly now. Let us know if you have any more questions!

Because your course is in draft, it isn't accessible at /:owner/:course , only at /:owner/:course/:version . This is something we want to fix so it is less confusing. In the meantime, you can visit /1.0.0 : https://lab.github.com/bampakoa/my-amazing-course/1.0.0 Or, you can jump straight to the admin page: https://lab.github.com/bampakoa/my-amazing-course/admin

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

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.

Hi @v1b3m. Can you please confirm that you have opted in to the Actions beta? If you haven't, that may be preventing you from seeing the `secrets` part of the settings.

> 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

Hi @aravinth-mfap. I'm sorry this is happening! On our end, it looks as if the registration was successful, but I want to do a few things to be sure. Could you please clear your cache and refresh the page? If it is still stuck there, please try to delete your repository, then leave the course once more and re-register. If you are still experiencing problems, let us know, and we will make sure to find the answer for you.

brianamarie

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. :)

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.

HI @henrywilliam463! Welcome to GitHub, and welcome to Learning Lab! I would recommend you start with the Introduction to GitHub course. Happy learning!

This is a duplicate of this post. The solution was: @arzWZM@arzWZM! You are on the right page - the settings for GitHub pages are down quite a ways. Scroll down, and you should see the option there. Let us know if you don't see it after scrolling through the entire page or if we can help any more. :)

brianamarie · ‎10-23-2019

Hi @TeRmInAlCrAzY! Thank you for letting us know. I've updated the course template, so it should no longer have any outdated dependencies. :)

brianamarie · ‎10-22-2019

Hi @bjpowernodeChenming! You can find instructions for changing your GitHub username here on GitHub help.

Hi @darkmansarah - This forum is for questions about Learning Lab. I'm sorry but we can't help you with that question unfortunately.

brianamarie · ‎10-22-2019

Thank you all! I've edited the template repository to have a `favicon.ico` file, and tested the course. It's working smoothly!

brianamarie · ‎10-22-2019

Hi @Matt198! This is required because if the naming conventions don't match, the blog post won't show up. When you edit the file on GitHub, you should be able to type `/` after `_posts`, which will put the file into that directory. Can you elaborate when you say you're unable to put the `/` in the file name?

Hello @oshada97! The choice is completely yours. The notification is just to let you know that a new version exists, but if you'd rather continue on with the current version, that's totally fine too!

brianamarie · ‎08-23-2019

@GertjanMonkeyProof I agree - I have notified the course author and they are working on a better solution.

brianamarie · ‎08-22-2019

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.

brianamarie · ‎08-22-2019

Hi @dascanr, It looks like the step for turning on GitHub Pages is complete. The next step that GitHub Learning Lab is waiting for is for you to create a branch. You can see the instructions here. Let me know if you want or need more help! :)

brianamarie · ‎08-22-2019

Hi @EduSemensati! Thank you for letting us know. We're working on a fix for this now.

brianamarie · ‎08-21-2019

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. I'm sorry @AndreaGriffiths11 for not posting here - I was able to find the message and restore it. :)

brianamarie · ‎08-20-2019

Hi @Tanya1902! It looks like you were able to complete the course. Do you have any other questions that I can help with?

brianamarie · ‎08-19-2019

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?

brianamarie · ‎08-19-2019

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?

brianamarie · ‎08-06-2019

@EduSemensati Thank you for bringing this to our attention! This appears to be a bug in a new feature we're working on. I'm letting the engineering team know what you've found, so that we can resolve it. Thank you for helping us make Learning Lab better. :)

brianamarie · ‎08-01-2019

Are you stuck, and you don't know why? It could have to do with the steps, but it could also have to do with updates to Learning Lab. Sometimes, GitHub makes updates that add more opportunities for apps like Learning Lab. If Learning Lab wants to use those (things like webhooks and permissions), then Learning Lab explicitly needs your permission as a user. You might get stuck and not know why! This is typically because the app is missing a permission it needs. You should have received an email saying Learning Lab was requesting additional permissions but I know those can be easy to miss. You can fix this by: 1. Going to https://github.com/apps/github-learning-lab 2. Click *Configure* 3. Select the account from the list 4. Scroll down to the Permissions and Repository Access section and look for a notification that permissions need to be accepted. Once you've done this, you should be able to disable and then re-enable pages to move forward in the course. If you're still having troubles after doing this, let us know in another post.

brianamarie · ‎07-22-2019

Hi @beppe76, I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you're able to provide the following information, I'll be able to look into what's causing you trouble: - What course are you going through? - What step are you on? - If your course is public, could you send a link to the step where you're stuck? - Could you include a screenshot of the problem you're describing? Thank you for your patience!
