The logs show that my program passed tests for stage #NI6, however it fails for #GP4, an already cleared stage.

 ![gp4](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/codecrafters/original/3X/f/2/f241cfe0ff54299217025450fd71ebacabda8ebd.png)

My program prints out the prompt ``($ )` when I test it out locally:

```auto
[~/Projects/codecrafters-shell-go]
└─$ ./your_program.sh
$ 

```

Repo link : [https://git.codecrafters.io/00ee75655566978f](https://git.codecrafters.io/00ee75655566978f)

Please, I need help.

Hey @Mwawaka, looks like your program was being recompiled every time it ran, which caused the prompt (`$`) to be printed late. This was due to the deleted `.codecrafters` folder.

I’ve pushed a fix to your repo. You can run `git pull` to sync the changes.

Let me know if you hit any issues after pulling.
