Tell us what’s happening:
I am running into an issue with the five bash program section o fthe relational-databases certification program. I feel as though i have exhausted all possible remedies for my issue which is the code is correct(I event copied and pasted the solution from the hint section) i’ve reset, closed the terminal, opened a new terminal, and what really throws me is the line repeated in the terminal, see the picture. I tried to capture as much information in my screengrabs as possibelbecaue it seems as thought this has been a problem for others but what never resolved. The second screen shot provided illustrates the ‘HINTS’ for that particular task matching what i have in my file, unless there is a minor detail i am not seeing which is not out of the realm of possibilites.
Somone had suggested that you cannot stop in the middle of coding any of the bash scripts, and I think there might be something to do that because I did take a break while in the middle of the fortune.sh script so perhaps these screenshots will shed some light, but what is going on in my terminal is just bizzare. And it happens every time i refresh the script
Your code so far

can you describe how you idled the workspace and how did you go back to it?
for eg. did you go to the codespace dashboard and shut it down there, then restart it from there?
(I want to try to do the same thing to see if I will get the same issue or not)
I believe i just walked away and left it open and then I think my codespace timed out, but I am not 100 percent sure about that. It is more likely that i let the codespace time out due to inactivity vs. shutting the codespace down manually from my gitub repsitory/codespace. feel free to contact me if you need additional information and i’ll do my best
i think if you can help it, always shut down the workspace properly from the dashboard. it -might- help to avoid issues.
i have some ideas that you can try if you want, but i have no idea if they will work or not to be very honest:
first idea:
click on the icon with the 3 block and a yellow highlighted exclamation mark
take a screenshot of what you see there
it should look like this but i think in your case it doesn’t so i want to see:
then can you click on the top icon with the blue 2k value
and then undo all code changes to all the files listed except for the 5 programs you wrote and the following list of files:
i’m hoping when you undo those changes, then maybe you will be able to continue.
to undo the changes you click on the arrow that has the label ‘discard’ on it. So to do this to all 2000 files - minus the important ones i mentioned and the shell files you wrote, then highlight them all and deselect the ones i mentioned, then right-click to discard the changes from the menu that shows up then.
