1 00:00:54.840 ⇒ 00:00:56.430 Kaela Gallagher: Hey, good morning.
2 00:00:58.340 ⇒ 00:00:59.810 Brylle Girang: Hi, good morning!
3 00:01:00.080 ⇒ 00:01:13.049 Kaela Gallagher: Hi, thanks for… thanks for helping me out with this. I’ve been having so many tough… That’s fine. It’s okay, no worries, because, this is also… this is also one of the main things that we want to see, like.
4 00:01:13.050 ⇒ 00:01:18.220 Brylle Girang: what problems will people face, especially when they start using Cursor, so…
5 00:01:18.450 ⇒ 00:01:25.150 Brylle Girang: I’m going to be totally honest with you, this is the first time that I have encountered your issue, but more than happy to…
6 00:01:25.150 ⇒ 00:01:25.650 Kaela Gallagher: That’s.
7 00:01:25.650 ⇒ 00:01:26.780 Brylle Girang: I’ve been to this.
8 00:01:27.030 ⇒ 00:01:32.330 Kaela Gallagher: Okay, cool. I saw the message that you sent over this morning, but haven’t had…
9 00:01:32.690 ⇒ 00:01:45.410 Kaela Gallagher: a chance to kind of walk through those steps yet. Yeah. But just to show you, so this is kind of the error that I’m getting here, like, GitHub not found,
10 00:01:45.520 ⇒ 00:01:49.869 Kaela Gallagher: And then when I clicked Download Git, it brought me, kind of, to, like, a website.
11 00:01:50.860 ⇒ 00:01:56.310 Kaela Gallagher: And it’s saying it was last fetched, like, half an hour ago, here.
12 00:01:56.310 ⇒ 00:01:57.420 Brylle Girang: Okay, yep.
13 00:02:01.740 ⇒ 00:02:16.259 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha. So, I’m also curious why it’s saying that you have 6,710 changed files. That should not be the case. I think we really have a problem with how the repository was cloned.
14 00:02:16.490 ⇒ 00:02:21.089 Brylle Girang: So, yeah, so can you click File in the GitHub Desktop menu?
15 00:02:21.610 ⇒ 00:02:22.859 Brylle Girang: The top part.
16 00:02:23.680 ⇒ 00:02:25.319 Brylle Girang: Alright, and then…
17 00:02:30.070 ⇒ 00:02:35.209 Brylle Girang: Okay, let’s try cloning again. So click clone.
18 00:02:36.400 ⇒ 00:02:42.420 Brylle Girang: And then, via you… oh, there we go. So we have github.com. Just choose…
19 00:02:43.410 ⇒ 00:02:47.610 Brylle Girang: the Brainforge platform repo. So you scroll down.
20 00:02:48.320 ⇒ 00:02:54.140 Brylle Girang: It’s sorted alphabetically, so it should be there. Yep, just click that one.
21 00:02:56.670 ⇒ 00:03:02.340 Brylle Girang: Okay, and then in the local path, Just add the number 2.
22 00:03:04.130 ⇒ 00:03:05.089 Kaela Gallagher: Here, we’re gonna…
23 00:03:05.090 ⇒ 00:03:05.630 Brylle Girang: Yep.
24 00:03:08.070 ⇒ 00:03:10.029 Brylle Girang: Okay, and then just click clone.
25 00:03:12.790 ⇒ 00:03:17.929 Brylle Girang: Hopefully it doesn’t give an error, and I think that’s the main cause. You remember yesterday?
26 00:03:18.060 ⇒ 00:03:29.030 Brylle Girang: I think that was 2 days ago, I’m not sure, but when we were trying to clone, there… there’s an error that’s coming up, it might be connected to that, so let’s see how it goes here.
27 00:03:29.690 ⇒ 00:03:30.510 Kaela Gallagher: Okay.
28 00:03:38.260 ⇒ 00:03:43.549 Kaela Gallagher: It looks like the cannot connect to Git thing disappeared.
29 00:03:44.480 ⇒ 00:03:48.050 Brylle Girang: Yeah, because we… we temporarily removed the repo, so…
30 00:03:51.540 ⇒ 00:04:00.720 Brylle Girang: So what happens here is that Cursor uses GitHub Desktop as, like, the brain, and it’s getting information from that.
31 00:04:00.940 ⇒ 00:04:06.920 Brylle Girang: So, if GiftHub Desktop stops working, then cursor at the same time.
32 00:04:07.080 ⇒ 00:04:08.889 Brylle Girang: Will not function properly.
33 00:04:09.980 ⇒ 00:04:10.760 Kaela Gallagher: Okay.
34 00:04:16.260 ⇒ 00:04:19.029 Brylle Girang: Please, please don’t fail.
35 00:04:21.929 ⇒ 00:04:26.119 Brylle Girang: But how’s your first 5 days?
36 00:04:26.470 ⇒ 00:04:35.889 Kaela Gallagher: It’s been good, it’s been good. I’ve… I’ve just been trying to do a lot of learning and meeting with people.
37 00:04:36.380 ⇒ 00:04:39.210 Kaela Gallagher: Okay.
38 00:04:39.210 ⇒ 00:04:41.430 Brylle Girang: Didn’t… it didn’t…
39 00:04:42.370 ⇒ 00:04:48.560 Brylle Girang: It didn’t show an error, so that’s good. Can you please click on Open in Cursor in the GitHub desktop?
40 00:04:48.980 ⇒ 00:04:49.890 Brylle Girang: Page.
41 00:04:50.350 ⇒ 00:04:53.340 Brylle Girang: So, in the main section, like…
42 00:04:53.820 ⇒ 00:04:56.539 Kaela Gallagher: Oh, here. Open cursor. Okay.
43 00:05:07.240 ⇒ 00:05:08.160 Kaela Gallagher: Hmm.
44 00:05:08.770 ⇒ 00:05:10.669 Kaela Gallagher: I’ll click… I’ll click again.
45 00:05:11.280 ⇒ 00:05:15.170 Brylle Girang: Yeah, I think it’s… it’s doing the same thing, it’s, like, loading, and then…
46 00:05:15.440 ⇒ 00:05:23.030 Brylle Girang: After it loads, it will open up, you know, several multiple instances of cursor.
47 00:05:25.420 ⇒ 00:05:28.600 Brylle Girang: Oh, there. There! So that’s it.
48 00:05:28.760 ⇒ 00:05:38.120 Brylle Girang: Let me check, so that’s Brainforge Platform 2. You can… you can close down the other windows so that you don’t get confused what you use.
49 00:05:39.500 ⇒ 00:05:43.040 Brylle Girang: So just click… There.
50 00:05:43.780 ⇒ 00:05:51.970 Brylle Girang: Yeah, I think this is good. I don’t think I remember the error again. And then, if you check GitHub Desktop, there are no more changed files.
51 00:05:54.330 ⇒ 00:05:55.280 Kaela Gallagher: Here.
52 00:05:55.280 ⇒ 00:06:06.249 Brylle Girang: Yep, so no more change files, unlike before there were 6,000 something. And yeah, this is good. So… Oh! No!
53 00:06:07.090 ⇒ 00:06:08.649 Kaela Gallagher: Git not found.
54 00:06:09.710 ⇒ 00:06:16.669 Brylle Girang: Okay, so… Can you go to cursor, and then go to… or go to the agent feature?
55 00:06:19.640 ⇒ 00:06:22.520 Brylle Girang: Okay, tell cursor, download Git.
56 00:06:26.870 ⇒ 00:06:27.720 Kaela Gallagher: Just that.
57 00:06:27.720 ⇒ 00:06:29.709 Brylle Girang: Yep, just, just click send.
58 00:06:33.240 ⇒ 00:06:34.979 Brylle Girang: Just click Run.
59 00:06:35.970 ⇒ 00:06:38.700 Brylle Girang: And then just click run and run and run.
60 00:06:41.350 ⇒ 00:06:42.300 Kaela Gallagher: Continue.
61 00:06:42.610 ⇒ 00:06:45.669 Brylle Girang: Yup, just let it… just let it do whatever it needs.
62 00:06:48.040 ⇒ 00:06:50.679 Kaela Gallagher: I noticed that when I was asking it.
63 00:06:50.870 ⇒ 00:06:58.379 Kaela Gallagher: questions, it was, like, popping up, like, run, run, run, and I kept having to click to get it to go through.
64 00:06:58.750 ⇒ 00:07:01.649 Brylle Girang: Oh, yeah. Oh, like that.
65 00:07:01.930 ⇒ 00:07:02.640 Kaela Gallagher: Yeah.
66 00:07:02.640 ⇒ 00:07:10.729 Brylle Girang: Okay, so in this case, we’re just going to click run, but the next time that it asks again, let’s say…
67 00:07:10.930 ⇒ 00:07:21.689 Brylle Girang: hey, can I use Notion? Can I use Asana? So, there’s tendency that it will do that. You can just click Allow List, and then you don’t have to click run over and over again.
68 00:07:21.940 ⇒ 00:07:22.540 Brylle Girang: So…
69 00:07:22.540 ⇒ 00:07:23.020 Kaela Gallagher: Hmm.
70 00:07:23.020 ⇒ 00:07:29.610 Brylle Girang: It’s just the failsafe, of course, sir, making sure that before it accesses information, or before…
71 00:07:29.860 ⇒ 00:07:33.930 Brylle Girang: It tries to access a tool, it actually has consent.
72 00:07:35.040 ⇒ 00:07:35.860 Kaela Gallagher: Okay.
73 00:07:38.650 ⇒ 00:07:41.280 Kaela Gallagher: Okay, so now I got this…
74 00:07:42.880 ⇒ 00:07:47.269 Brylle Girang: Yeah, let’s just wait for it. I think the error that you’re encountering is more of a…
75 00:07:47.730 ⇒ 00:07:52.019 Brylle Girang: a device error. I think even though you have GitHub Desktop, it has
76 00:07:52.560 ⇒ 00:07:59.339 Brylle Girang: problems of connecting to Git, because the package within your local machine is not yet installed.
77 00:07:59.560 ⇒ 00:08:02.099 Brylle Girang: So let’s see if this fixes that.
78 00:08:02.490 ⇒ 00:08:03.340 Kaela Gallagher: Okay.
79 00:08:05.790 ⇒ 00:08:15.299 Brylle Girang: And you can see here, this is how far AI have come from, you know, just a question and answer machine to something that actually does.
80 00:08:15.980 ⇒ 00:08:16.410 Kaela Gallagher: Right.
81 00:08:16.410 ⇒ 00:08:18.320 Brylle Girang: your actual device.
82 00:08:18.880 ⇒ 00:08:20.280 Kaela Gallagher: Crazy.
83 00:08:20.280 ⇒ 00:08:21.760 Brylle Girang: It is, and scary.
84 00:08:29.540 ⇒ 00:08:32.270 Brylle Girang: Are you actively hiring people already?
85 00:08:33.520 ⇒ 00:08:38.900 Kaela Gallagher: Yeah, basically, yeah.
86 00:08:39.110 ⇒ 00:08:50.959 Kaela Gallagher: We have, like, a final round going off today, and I’ve been, like, messaging people on LinkedIn, and posting jobs, and all that stuff, so we’re, like, in full hiring mode.
87 00:08:50.960 ⇒ 00:08:57.209 Brylle Girang: Wow. But I mentioned that we might have, like, 3 to 4 people joining in the next 3 to 4 weeks.
88 00:08:57.620 ⇒ 00:08:59.449 Brylle Girang: That’s going to be crazy.
89 00:08:59.770 ⇒ 00:09:01.329 Kaela Gallagher: I know, I know.
90 00:09:02.050 ⇒ 00:09:09.210 Kaela Gallagher: Okay. Get installed…
91 00:09:09.420 ⇒ 00:09:13.859 Brylle Girang: Okay, okay. Yeah, close on the open cursor, then on…
92 00:09:19.670 ⇒ 00:09:25.280 Brylle Girang: Yeah, that’s fine. So, can you copy the git dash dash version that Cursor has?
93 00:09:25.390 ⇒ 00:09:26.850 Brylle Girang: I sent over.
94 00:09:27.490 ⇒ 00:09:28.779 Brylle Girang: In step 2.
95 00:09:29.790 ⇒ 00:09:30.480 Kaela Gallagher: Here.
96 00:09:30.480 ⇒ 00:09:36.100 Brylle Girang: Just copy that one, and then in cursor, in the menu bar, click Terminal.
97 00:09:39.200 ⇒ 00:09:40.790 Brylle Girang: And the new terminal?
98 00:09:42.520 ⇒ 00:09:46.039 Brylle Girang: And then just paste it there. Paste and then enter.
99 00:09:51.220 ⇒ 00:09:53.579 Brylle Girang: Okay, can you try restarting cursor?
100 00:09:54.140 ⇒ 00:09:54.780 Brylle Girang: So, just…
101 00:09:54.780 ⇒ 00:09:56.149 Kaela Gallagher: Just, like, close it.
102 00:09:56.150 ⇒ 00:10:02.580 Brylle Girang: Yep, just close it down, and then click Open in Cursor again in GitHub Desktop, so that it opens.
103 00:10:03.010 ⇒ 00:10:03.770 Kaela Gallagher: Oh.
104 00:10:05.690 ⇒ 00:10:08.480 Brylle Girang: It opens the actual repo.
105 00:10:14.680 ⇒ 00:10:20.619 Brylle Girang: Okay, and then try repasting… the… the stuff again in terminal.
106 00:10:25.650 ⇒ 00:10:26.500 Brylle Girang: Hmm.
107 00:10:47.490 ⇒ 00:10:54.380 Brylle Girang: Oh, okay. Nevermind. So we can ignore this for now. I think it’s because this is not the PowerShell, but…
108 00:10:54.960 ⇒ 00:11:01.980 Brylle Girang: continue using cursor, and I don’t think you’ll encounter the same errors again, but if it does, please just let me know, okay?
109 00:11:02.480 ⇒ 00:11:05.039 Kaela Gallagher: Okay, okay, I’m gonna do a quick…
110 00:11:05.370 ⇒ 00:11:08.010 Kaela Gallagher: Ask and just see if it goes through.
111 00:11:08.170 ⇒ 00:11:08.960 Brylle Girang: Yeah, sure.
112 00:11:37.880 ⇒ 00:11:38.500 Kaela Gallagher: Hmm.
113 00:11:38.690 ⇒ 00:11:43.220 Kaela Gallagher: Okay, not the right answer, but it gave me an answer, so it’s okay.
114 00:11:43.490 ⇒ 00:11:47.479 Brylle Girang: I think the files are in Notion, so I think that’s the main reason.
115 00:11:47.770 ⇒ 00:11:51.739 Kaela Gallagher: Okay, so I would have to ask it to look in Notion specifically.
116 00:11:51.740 ⇒ 00:11:59.790 Brylle Girang: Yeah, try it out, and then if it says something like, hey, I can find Notion, etc, just a little cursor to fix that, and see how it goes.
117 00:12:00.010 ⇒ 00:12:03.389 Kaela Gallagher: Okay. Okay, cool, thank you for your help, I appreciate it.
118 00:12:03.390 ⇒ 00:12:05.799 Brylle Girang: Please reach out to me if you need anything, okay?
119 00:12:05.800 ⇒ 00:12:08.340 Kaela Gallagher: Okay, thank you. Bye. Alright, bye.
