Hi, I deleted my README.md pushed it and when I created a new one, pushing it won’t work.  
The repo is: [Master Thesis - a Hugging Face Space by JavedA](https://huggingface.co/spaces/JavedA/master_Thesis)

It tells me that there is a configuration error. However, I cannot create a README, neither locally to push it nor using the web view.

Thank you for your time and effort

The issue could be solved - I do not know why it worked this time. I just copied the README from a test space and inserted it. Maybe the additional: `Check out the configuration reference at https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-config-reference` solved the issue.

Anyhow, the issue could be resolved by simply using the following content for the readme.md

For me it was also making sure of the filename case. README.md.

Naming the file in all caps solved mine too
