Now that your release is finalized, we have a confession to make... somewhere in our recent update, I made a mistake and introduced a bug. Instead of changing the text colors to green, we changed the whole background.

Sometimes GitHub Pages takes a few minutes to update. Your page might not immediately show the recent updates you've made.

"Hotfixes", or a quick fix to address a bug in software, are a normal part of development. Oftentimes you'll see application updates whose only description is "bug fixes".

When bugs come up after you release a version, you'll need to address them.

We've already created this branch, pull request, and suggested a fix. The suggested change will be merged into the main branch. Later we will cherry-pick the hotfix commits into the release branch.

Step 12: Approve a hotfix pull request

Submit a hotfix by applying the suggested change and approving this PR.

Your fix is now on main! This ensures that any new code isn't based on our bug.

Let's backport those changes to the branch with release v1.0.
