able to solve it this time since it have the same motif with ur earlier king and pawn ending (exercise number 2)- g4+h4 vs g5+h5 can create a pass pawn for either side:) ( applicable for any other files)
anyway a few variation can be added to make the solution clearer , eg after 2.g4 , black have other good way to lose like 2... gh 3.gh f5 4. h6 Kf6 5 e5+
