After running "ask new" I am asked to get information about a git attribute that has no relevancy to "ask new"

Expected Behavior

I assume you can run "ask run" sometime but I can't get it to work

Current Behavior

After "ask new" completes successfully I am told to get more information about git.

https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/hosted-skills/build-a-skill-end-to-end-using-an-alexa-hosted-skill.html#askcli

There isn't any useful/relevant information about using git on this page.

CLI Snapshot If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

run "ask new" wait for it to complete

$ ask new Please follow the wizard to start your Alexa skill project -> ? Choose the programming language you will use to code your skill: NodeJS ? Choose a method to host your skill's backend resources: Alexa-hosted skills Host your skill code by Alexa (free). ? Choose the default region for your skill: us-east-1 ? Please type in your skill name: First Skill ? Please type in your folder name for the skill project (alphanumeric): FirstSkill

Project directory for First Skill created at /home/allen/Alexa_skills/FirstSkill

Lambda code for First Skill created at ./lambda

Skill schema and interactionModels for First Skill created at ./skill-package

Skill is enabled successfully.

Hosted skill provisioning finished. Skill-Id: amzn1.ask.skill.6a17c596-9357-47df-adbc-97c5586dd99e Please follow the instructions at https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/hosted-skills/build-a-skill-end-to-end-using-an-alexa-hosted-skill.html#askcli to learn more about the usage of "git" for Hosted skill. $

Possible Solution

After running ask new there should be useful information like you can now run "ask deploy" or "ask run" Please don't suggest that I create skills from the Web-page alexa developer console.

My expectation is that the ask "cli" tool should run end to end from creating a skill to running a skill. Didn't get past ask new. The skill did show up in the Web UI waiting to be deployed. ask deploy didn't work

Here is the dialog. git push is run nothing seems to happen

$ ask deploy Deploy configuration loaded from ask-resources.json Deploy project for profile [default]

[Warn]: Alexa hosted skills can be deployed by performing a git push. The master branch gets deployed to skill's development stage The prod branch gets deployed to skill's live stage Please run "git push" at the proper branch to deploy hosted skill to your targeted stage.

$ git push After the code pushed, please check the deployment status via Alexa Developer console: https://developer.amazon.com/alexa/console/ask/build/custom/amzn1.ask.skill.6a17c596-9357-47df-adbc-97c5586dd99e/development/en_US Everything up-to-date

$ ask deploy Deploy configuration loaded from ask-resources.json Deploy project for profile [default]

Hi @allenabc, for git-managed hosted skills, git push origin master should also update your development version of the skill if there are code changes. Updated docs are here. You can test your skill from the built-in simulator ask dialog --locale en-US.

Closing for now, feel free to re-open if you had more questions!
