Cross-post my article to three sites — connections failed and I became the courier
The same user asked his Dot to publish one article to his own site, DEV and Medium; the workflow had worked in one shot the previous week. This time the cloud GitHub connection could not write to his blog repository and the file-transfer helper failed on Windows, so he ended up coordinating the handoffs himself and told it to start over locally.
This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.
How it works
- Prepare the article and cover in the cloud
- Attempt the GitHub route and hit a connection without write access to his blog repo
- Try transferring files to his laptop
- Hit a Windows file-transfer failure
- Owner coordinates manually and orders a local restart
Why it’s worth knowing
A workflow that ran in one shot last week collapsed into the owner hand-carrying files.
