Bandit Level 31 → 32

Goal

Follow the repository README to create and push the requested file to the remote repository.

Why this matters

A successful Git contribution depends on working-tree content, ignore behavior, staging, commits, and remote updates.

Progressive hints

1. Hint 1

   Treat README as the exact contract.

2. Hint 2

   Inspect .gitignore if Git refuses to stage the requested file.

3. Hint 3

   Verify the staged diff before committing and pushing.

Method

Run only the lines that match the evidence you observe.

cat README && cat .gitignore
# Create the exact file and content requested by the live README.
git add -f <requested-file> && git diff --cached
git commit -m 'Add requested file' && git push

Expected non-secret observation

The remote hook evaluates the pushed commit and returns the next credential in its response.

Explanation

The force-add flag overrides an ignore rule for one intentional path; the remote hook validates the new commit.

Troubleshooting

• Match filename, content, branch, and newline exactly.
• Review git status and the staged diff before committing.

Safety and cleanup

• Use only the OverTheWire game host and your own local practice directory.
• Do not paste a level password into this site, screenshots, notes, or submissions. Baitaphish never asks for credentials.
• Treat commands as learning prompts: inspect paths and flags before running them.

Completion and next step

Use the recovered credential only in the official Level 32 login. Then mark this transition complete and continue.
