Hi, noob here. sorry, this will sound stupid:

edit: the threadtitle has been edited to reflect the progress.


I start vibe coding.
My next step to take: "setup xcode"

i have a github account. I just created a repository (xCode required it)
Now i shall login to github thru xcode......it`s not working !

i don`t know what it wants to see. unclear wording to me. Whatever credentials i tryed, it`s not working


screenshot:

what does it want to see ?

[Funky40]

So, everybody who looked here thought that`s too simple a question ?.....if you dude already stumble there you better stop right now ?


On part one, Yes...i have no clue. There is also unprecise language involved. Which knocks me so quickly out
While i work literally daily on a professional level "with" computers, i stumble over most simple things to this day. It`s just a fact.
Nevertheless am i one hell of a guy in one very small corner ......doing work 100% based on using computers (macs)

i disagree on part two.
of course will i make my way up.

i have no other to ask, i ask here.....is this asking too much ?
For sure have most folks reading here taken that step with github and xcode.

See my screenshot above.
Can somebody help me please ?

You need to make a token in github first. But if this already gives you trouble i suggest following a tutorial on git first.

Which framework are you starting with ? Start with xcode seems strange.

[kerfuffle]

I wouldn't use Xcode to do GitHub but a dedicated git client such as Fork.

[Paul_Pulsonix]

I just use terminal commands for git. But same thing applies. You need a token.

Ptesumably you already have created an account at github

okay, i see.

i ended up wit chatGTP that the next step requires me to have xcode running.
i think it will write me then code, and i have to stitch it up together myself

okay, so there are alternatives vs. ?:

>>i think kit will write me then code, and i have to stitch it up together myself<<

i take it, keyword: "git client"....and there take "fork".
i`ll look into it !

Thanks everybody ! you gave me shoes for a few next steps

first mistake is to use chatgpt.

[Funky40]

first mistake is to use chatgpt.

why ? for what ?

its chat is much noise, yes. but i like it right now for some things.
it`s for me a good first step chatting with an AI-bot


Further steps and improvements are coming.......i`m looking into it


chatGPT just told me that i should at least just install xcode since it installs some apple compilers. But i think, to have that working is the step......that led to this thread.....necessary ? not sure

i`m looking right now into git "git-clients" and "fork" and alternatives....since i have now some keywords

~ $60, ...it says there is free evaluation. is this evaluation good enough for my start ? is this a functional or a time based limit ?

IF i can find my way into vibe-coing can i fork this out
My first VB-coding job is just a simple Delay ( with my own twists)
until i have created a finished "work" i don`t want to fork out. ( first see how far i come)

claude and gemini are better. xcode works great but which framework do you use ? I work with JUCE, so it's easy to compile for mac and windows. but really I would watch some Juce plugin tutorials so you have at least some basic knowledge. you don't need a git client, all that can be done with terminal commands.

[Funky40]

ok, i`m chtting...for now still with chatGPT. Thanks to new keywords do i make progress !


the project will be JUCE
chatGPT has cleared my problme with xcode. it was based me chatting from "copilot", so i wanted to directly connect xcode with git hub. This step is NOT necessary for me.

my next steps to come, according to my newest chat:
- install JUCE
- xcode should already be installed successfully as is ( to have the compilors)
- install VS code
- i do NOT need github for now ! that was the confusion coming from chatting from copilot which wanted to link the two

- guess i see now much clearer

[Funky40]

.... but really I would watch some Juce plugin tutorials so you have at least some basic knowledge.

I see. good idea

[Paul_Pulsonix]

you only need github to save your progress online.

[BertKoor]

You do want git to save your progress on your own harddisk, so you can go back to a previous version. And perform archaelogy afterwards
