My Dot could not publish my article to three sites this time

Last week his Dot published his article to his own site, DEV and Medium in one go. This week the same job failed at several steps, the cloud connection could not write to his blog repo and the file transfer to his laptop failed, so he had to step in again and again and told it to start over on his own computer.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Dot writes the article and its cover in the cloud
  2. Dot tries to publish it to his own site, DEV and Medium
  3. The cloud GitHub connection cannot write to his blog repo
  4. The file transfer to his laptop fails on Windows
  5. He steps in repeatedly and tells it to start over locally

Why it’s worth knowing

The same publishing job his Dot did in one shot last week broke in several places this week, and he ended up coordinating the handoffs between its computers himself.
