Error on Singularity Hub

The Singularity file created before Add a new repository is not built.

What do you think is going on?

I am new to Singularity so I followed the Use Guide step by step to create my first image: Build A Contrainer

In the User Guide, it is recommended to create a first Singularity file before adding the repository to Singularity Hub: Steps

However, I noticed that by doing so, the predefined Singularity will not trigger a build in the Automated Build mode.

After reading the documentation of Automated Build, I notice that Singularity Hub will only check the commits after the connection being established. Thus, if we follow the steps described in the user guide, the very first Singularity is excluded, unless we modified this file later and commit again.

I suggest that in Steps, the connection should be established before committing the first Singularity file. (Verified and approved to be OK)

It is not a fatal issue but it would cause some trouble to understand what happened, especially for a newbie.
