I have been working on this lesson for quite a while. I will create my personal-website directory but it doesn’t show up in the next lesson. Here is one possibility as to why: “just make sure that your HTML is inside of a file called index.html. As you’ll see, even Jekyll uses a file called index.html.”. Anything I type is in a bash file. How do I get my directory into the index.html so that it will show in the next lesson and I can complete this course? Thank you for your help.
