I want to use git workflow with my hosted skill. I init-ed a hosted skill. as a test, made changes to skills.json. and push to master does not update the skill in distribution or interactive models

Expected Behavior

1. when pushed to master values from skills.json should reflect in the ui and a new deployment should happen..
2. (not certain about this) I should be able to push to "dev" and ui should see the new values, but it should not deploy.

Current Behavior

only updates to lambda code (js) is managed via git push to master. skill.json need to be manually update..
