Question

I am using Visual Studio Code and added the PlatformIO IDE extension along with c/c++ to code for my board, which is a uPesy ESP32 Wrovoer DevKit with a Espressif IoT Developement framework. Everything matches my but when I click finish I get an error message:
The current working directory C:\Users\brownme1\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\my_project will be used for the project.
The next files/directories have been created in C:\Users\brownme1\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\my_project

Answer 1

Please try to read the error carefully. It says you're missing git.
Git executable was not found. Git submodule checks will not be executed.
If you have any build issues at all, start by adding git executable to the
PATH and rerun cmake to not see this warning again.
