Video Game Characters (rdb-alpha) project not marked complete after fork/push issue

freeCodeCamp Support

I was completing “Learn Relational Databases by Building a Database of Video Game Characters” in a GitHub Codespace. I finished all the steps and CodeRoad showed the “Congratulations on completing” message inside VS Code.

When I went to commit and push my work, I accidentally clicked commit + push before realizing the remote was pointing at freeCodeCamp’s own repo (freeCodeCamp/rdb-alpha), so I got a permission denied error since I don’t have write access to that repo. I then used the fork option, which created my own fork at:

https://github.com/PanzerFaustAnan/rdb-alpha

After that, I fixed my local git remote (origin) to point at my fork instead of freeCodeCamp’s repo, and successfully pushed my completed work there (git push origin master returned “Everything up-to-date,” confirming the push went through).

However, the project still shows as not complete on the freeCodeCamp course page, even after refreshing. I also tried an empty commit (git commit --allow-empty) and re-pushing to force a re-check, but it’s still showing incomplete.

Could someone help me manually verify/mark this project as complete, or point me to what else might be missing?

you need to do the last step and see this screen again, this is what should trigger the completion on the site, not the commit

but also this is not one of the 5 certification projects, so even if it ends not marked as complete it will not hinder you

Thanks for checking! I did retry the last step and see the “Congratulations on completing” screen again, but it still doesn’t reflect as complete on the site. Good to know it will not hinder my certification though. I’ll stop troubleshooting it unless you think there’s something else worth trying.
