Adding to cart goes to url path cart/add instead of cart

Hello,

I’m working on Shopify theme development step by step. When I build out my cart page and add items to it, it redirects my theme to a /cart/add url path, instead of the /cart path and I have to manually remove the /add part. Additionally, I can’t see any items I add to the cart, but I can see any other liquid elements I add to my cart.liquid page. Any help or suggestions? Code below from my cart.liquid page:

{% form 'cart', cart %}
    #  Cart 

    {% if cart.empty? %}
        

Cart is empty

    {% else %}
        {% for item in cart.items %}
            
                
                ## {{ item.title }}
                

 {{ item.final_line_price | money }}

                 
                Remove
            

        {% endfor %} 
    

---

    {% endif %}
    
    

 Total: {{ cart.total_price | money }}

    
    
{% endform %}

Code from my theme.liquid:

{% comment %}
    main connecting point for pages
{% endcomment %}
<html>

    <head>
        {% comment %}
           required
        {% endcomment %}
        {{ content_for_header }}
       
    </head>

    <body>
        {% comment %} Renders your sections or snippets. this renders your header snippet {% endcomment %}
        {% render 'header' %}
        {{ content_for_layout }}
        
    </body>

    <footer> 
        {% render 'footer' %}
    </footer>
</html>

Thank you for any help
