i dont understand wht you meant by “where is rdb-alpha?!” but you’re already looking at it’s “github” repo!!

did you go through it’s readme file for more info?

  1. Clone the RDB Alpha repo with git clone https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/rdb-alpha
  2. Open a terminal, navigate to the rdb-alpha directory, and open VSCode with code .
  3. Press Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + P and enter Dev Containers: Rebuild Container and Reopen in Container
  4. A new VS Code window will open and begin building the Docker image. It will take several minutes to build the first time.
  5. Once the image is finished building, press Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + P and enter CodeRoad: Start to open CodeRoad
  6. In the CodeRoad window, click “Start New Tutorial”
  7. Enter the URL to the tutorial.json file of the project you want to start (ex: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freeCodeCamp/learn-bash-by-building-a-boilerplate/main/tutorial.json)
  8. Click the “Start” button
