Only latest post displayed on the blog page and not the subsequent ones

I have multiple posts on the site and I have set my posts page in wordpress to Blog. But I only see the latest post and not the subsequent posts. Here is my home.php :

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="container">
<div class="row">

  <div class="col-md-9">

    <div class="page-header">
      <h1><?php wp_title(''); ?></h1>
    </div>

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

      <article class="post">

        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
        <p>
          By <?php the_author(); ?> 
          on <?php echo the_time('l, F jS, Y');?>
          in <?php the_category( ', ' ); ?>.
          <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number(); ?></a>
        </p>

        <hr>

        <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

      </article>


    <?php endwhile; else: ?>

      <div class="page-header">
        <h1>Oh no!</h1>
      </div>

      <p>No content is appearing for this page!</p>

    <?php endif; ?>


  </div>

  <?php get_sidebar( 'blog' ); ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

You need to create a while loop and invoke WP Query to have the posts. Also you "should" have a template part to reference the posts' HTML.

But I don't see wp_query used either in the tutorial video or the project downloads. Which is why I wondered what I was doing wrong. Thank you for your feedback though.
