Let me start by saying that I'm very new to this. I have little to no technical background, so this might just be a simple problem, or I did something I shouldn't have done. It's my first time using the command line and dealing with static pages.
I recently deployed my Hugo site to GitHub pages. I only changed the configuration file, and that's it. (I followed this and this.)
The site is now live at https://USERNAME.github.io/. It's still showing the content of my chosen theme.
A few hours after deploying, I edited some of the local markdown files and pushed the changes. However, the changes aren't reflected on the site.
Now that I realize it, GitHub only displays my site's "public" folder and not all of the files in my local folder.
So, my question is, how can I change and update my site content locally and make sure that the changes are shown on the live site?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much!
