Description

Just taught the class on Jan 30, 2026, and ran into this issue when trying to teach VS Code portion -- apparently git cli needs to be installed for the VS Code "Source Control" extension to work. I didn't realize this (even with a clean VS Code install) because I had git already installed.

Luckily, I was still able to process with the github.dev version of VS Code.
