Flex your muscles 🧠💪

Setting up the hackathon repo

While setting up my GitHub, where I go by @100stacks -- https://github.com/100stacks -- repo -- https://github.com/100stacks/1password-passage-hashnode-hackathon -- for the hackathon I came across this error when I pushed an update to the README.

Troubleshooting GitHub Repo Images

This is odd, so I begin by troubleshooting the cover image by uploading it again, and seeing where the issue is.

The second image link renders.

Drop the image link in a browser

As I continue to troubleshoot the image error, I dropped the image link in a separate browser window.

troubleshoot image url

TIP: Typically when troubleshooting these types of rendering errors, I will open the link in different browsers to see what I can rule out.

GitHub Security Features

Originally, I created the hackathon repo as a Private repo, then converted it to a Public Repo. It appears that when I converted the repo to public visibility, I lost access to the image link.

Keep flexing your muscles 🧠💪

As software developers, you will come across many opportunities to troubleshoot errors. It's fundamental to our careers. No matter where you are in your career, you will have to flex your muscles multiple times a day, so keep exercising them. 😊
