Step 3 will not update to Step 4

[Klawz312]

I'm working on the Github Codespaces course as part of the AI Skills challenge. I made the mistake of entering the commit message on step 1 under the activity "Push code to your repository from the codespace". Then I added the member.js file in the terminal with this command: git add member.js. After that I pushed the code to the repository with git push.

Then I refreshed the repository page after 60 seconds and it did not update to Step 4. I tried the answer in this post:
Step 3 is not updating into step 4 #302

When I ran the workflow under the Actions tab on the repository page the workflow failed on the On Copilot hub suggestion step. I am not sure what to do to be able to update to step 4 and complete the exercise.

So, you haven't committed the changes? The git push command without any commits just shows a message "Everything up-to-date" and can't push anything. The "member.js" file doesn't exist on the origin/main branch anyway.

Note

The central dogma of git push (not the LINE one)
git add <file> → git commit → git push
In this case (Step 3), git add member.js → git commit -m "Copilot second commit" → git push

The author of #302 did create the "member.js" file properly and the workflow didn't run on its own. You should have checked if you have followed the instructions in the first place.

I mentioned in my post that I made a mistake. At the time I didn't know what was going on hence why I asked the question. Now that I tried the steps again in the right order the next steps in the exercise appeared again.
