Netlify/Hugo is not updating the changes I have pushed to Github. This is a weird issue since I have, as far as I am concerned, not done anything different from what I have been doing before this problem occurred.
I have followed the instructions of this book and the one offered by of Netlify but none worked.
I have also contacted Netlify but could not completely understand what I am supposed to do after they answered me. See below.
When I take a look at your builds, I see hugo errors. I suspect you'd get them locally too in case you use hugo 0.53 locally? When you clone a FRESH COPY of your directory (rather than one you've made local changes in), and try to run hugo 0.53/extended, do builds work better? If so then your next debugging steps will be here: https://github.com/netlify/build-image#running-locally to run our build container yourself to try to debug.
What I did based on this response was the following:
i) I went to RStudio and opened 'shell' in 'Git'. There I wrote 'git clone https://github.com/website_address.git'.
ii) As a result of this command in Git, a new folder opened in the repository.
iii) Then I started 'command prompt' in my laptop to run hugo '0.53/extended'. 'C:\Users\NewUser>docker pull netlify/build:v0.53/extended'. This resulted in the following error message: 'docker' is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I have made slight modifications to 'v.0.53/extended' but the error persists. I have also tried this line of code in Git but to no avail.
iv) I have also created a README folder in my Github repository and copied this snippet provided by Netlify:
[](https://app.netlify.com/sites/website_address/deploys)
but the problem persists.
This is one of the error messages that Netlify shows:

I suspect that the answer for solving my problem is hinted here:
Error checking out submodules: fatal: No url found for submodule path 'Blogdown' in .gitmodules.
So I checked this answer but I am still in the dark about what I am supposed to do.
I am obviously doing some(probably many)things wrong here. But I have no idea where and what these mistakes are.
It would be great if someone could guide a newbie like me out of this hole.
Much appreciated.
ps. Github and RStudio are communicating well.
