2. wait 10 minutes
3. flux get helmreleases ‐‐all‐namespaces # no HelmRelease objects found in flux-system namespace

There seems to be a missing step in the instructions. If I'm missing something, I'm not sure what, as I've re-read and re-tried 3 times.

I figured this out. I used the wrong GITHUB_REPO name because I was confused with all the possible GITHUB_REPOs involved, especially after following tutorial 1 here: https://fluxcd.io/docs/get-started/

Could we change this in the documentation?
