why is my tableView not pushing to the detailViewController inside my tableView?

Im creating a twitter clone and for some reason when a user taps on a cell it should go to the detailViewController to show them more about the tweet but it never pushes. And I know the problem is not something like chest to make sure you have the correct storyboard ID because when I make the tableView the initial view controller it pushes to the detail view controller. So IDK if this a bug in the code or in the view hierarchy etc.

I tried just doing a segue but it was the same problem and made sure that its the right class in storyBoard.

here's my GitHub to see if anyone can find the bug or problem with the tableView cell not pushing to the detailViewController,

here's some code snippets as well of where the bug may be.

I have cloned your project and checked.
This is working :

        let storyBoard = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    
        guard let vc = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "detail") as? TwitterHomeViewDetailViewController else {
        print("failed to instantiate detail view controller")
        return
        }

This should work.

if let vc = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "detail") as? TwitterHomeViewDetailViewController {
    // Do what you want.
} else {
    assertionFailure("Failed!")
}
