Hi Sravya,
I too have gone through the same issue.  I guess you would have used the git clone command inside cloud shell.
As per the lab instructions, you need to make git clone within the ssh of the instance 'lab-setup'

So you need to do git clone in this way:
1. Navigate to Compute Engine -> VM Instances
2. Click SSH button on the 'lab-setup' instance
3. Run the git clone command inside the SSH
Now your task should show completion progress.

Thank you for your keen observation.. kudos to your talent! I am facing 4th step issue like nano index.php im editing and saving but unable to deploy app it is saying your project wont allow more than 10 instances.. I tried in both ssh and cloud shell.

These are the steps that I followed:

1. Enable app engine admin API

2. Clone the repository in cloud shell, cd to hello world directory

3. gcloud app deploy

4. Open ssh from 'lab-setup' VM instance

5. Clone repository again, cd to hello world directory in ssh

6. Exit ssh and back to cloud shell

7. nano index.php -> Change the values as per lab instructions

8. gcloud app deploy

I retook the challenge lab with above steps and all steps worked good for me.
