BUG: Got kicked out, Lost all progress/branches and Unable to move forward in lesson (Relational Database Cert > Learn Git by Building an SQL Reference Object )

[mrcs]

This happened on Friday July 14, 2023.

After completing most of the tutorial, I got randomly kicked out. So I restarted the course, and followed the prompt to change to the fix/add-missing-rename-references branch but I was unable to move forward.

I then ran git branch and noticed that the only branch available was the master branch so I created the fix/add-missing-rename-references branch and switched to it but I still get an error message and can’t move forward.

Other Details:

• Item I cannot move forward from: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/learn-git-by-building-an-sql-reference-object/blob/main/TUTORIAL.md#16401
• When I do try to checkout the branch, I get two modified files that wasn’t part of the tutorial
• Resetting does not help
• I will continue with is locally but I’d love to save my progress on here

Thanks for any help!

In my case similar thing has happened and for me I was forgetting to to the sql_reference directory, due to which the branch was not loading.
After changing the directory with ‘cd sql_reference’ and doing the branch command I was able to see all the previous branch that was thinking are lost.
Hope this can resolve the issue.
