I am trying to set up the Database Cert track locally on my Ubuntu 22.04 laptop. I’m following the instructions that are showing on the link on FCC and the ones that are duplicated in the repo that is cloned.
I clone the rdb-alpha repo.
Change to the rdb-alpha directory and run code . to launch VS Code
Run the command to rebuild and ReOpen container.
However after I run CodeRoad: Start and click Start New Tutorial
I get the following error
Don’t really know anything about this one but do you have Git installed and configured?
GIT comes installed automatically on Ubuntu.
Hello there,
Personally, I have not seen this. The course is run in a container that comes with Git: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/rdb-alpha/blob/main/Dockerfile#L29
It does not automatically configure the Git user, but that should be done by VSCode’s Dev Container setup (provided your Git user is set up locally).
Have you tried following the suggestion in the error?
Well I would have if I had known where I was going to be entering that information. So I have to enter it within container dev plugin? I have git set up on my machine. I have set up ssh with generated keys for github. I’ll look into my local git config to see what it shows.
Got it figured out. The step of configuring the global user and email is left out of the instructions for setting up the project. Yes git needed to have it’s global user and email set up. Could have sworn it was all set up wlth getting git clone going but git config --list didn’t show anything initially. Sorry for the trouble.
