#VSCode – Let’s do some #Git dev in #RaspberryPi (GitHub and Azure DevOps!)

EnglishPost 1 Minute
Buy Me A Coffee

Hi!

In my previous posts I wrote about how to prepare a developer station with a Raspverry Pi 4. I wrote on how to install Visual Studio Code, how to install .Net Core and how to build and run C# projects. Of course, the next step is to work with Git.

The command to install git is

sudo
apt-get install git

However, I already have Git installed. I haven’t checked, but it seems to me that the latest Raspbian distro includes by default git. I was hoping that VSCode will recognize and use this, but in order to work with Git in VSCode I need some extra work in the IDE settings.

I was able to clone some repositories from GitHub and Azure DevOps, directly from bach

So, let’s fix Visual Studio Code and Git integration. This one is very easy, I just need to go to Settings, search for Git and define the Git path for VSCode.

In order to find the git path, we need to use the [which] command

pi@rpidev3:~ $ which git

/usr/bin/git

My got location is [/usr/bin/git].

I’m not a command line dude! I like User Interfaces, so now it’s time to open one of the cloned repositories in Visual Studio Code. I can see that VSCode recognices Git and I can start to commit my files.

This is also a perfect moment to define Git user name and user email. 

git config --global user.email "email@email.com" 
git config --global user.name "your name"

I like to do this in the Terminal in VSCode, just to check all is working fine.

Happy coding!

Greetings

El Bruno
