You can't actually _resize_ an SD card.

Also, I fear there is a more hassle-free way of _expanding_ your filesystem and partition to make use of the entire available space on the SD card when using RaspberryPi OS.  
I'd recommend to use

```auto
sudo raspi-config

```

_Advanced Options | Expand Filesystem_.

EDIT: It doesn't require 15 manual steps, and it's also faster, just requring a reboot. 😉
