AI with Remy · The AI Course

Set up your computer

Three small steps, about 5 minutes. Copy, paste, done — no experience needed. And a promise: nothing on this page can break your computer — these steps just connect your computer to your GitHub account. The course install itself happens live in Session 1, together.

Before you start

You'll need two things done already:

  1. Your GitHub invite accepted — if you haven't, go back to the access page first.
  2. Claude Code installed and signed in — that's covered in the pre-work videos in the community.

Do this on the computer you'll use for the course (not a phone or iPad).

1

Install the GitHub tool

One command installs the small helper (the “GitHub CLI”) that handles signing in.

Open a terminal. In VS Code: Terminal menu → New Terminal. (Or Terminal.app on Mac / PowerShell on Windows.) Then paste this and press Enter:

curl -fsSL https://ai-with-remy-checkout.vercel.app/gh.sh | bash

That one line downloads the official GitHub tool and sets it up for you — no admin password, nothing else installed. It ends with ✓ Done!

winget install --id GitHub.cli -e --source winget --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

Windows will show a permission pop-up (“Do you want to allow…?”) — click Yes. (And if Windows says it doesn't know winget, download the installer from cli.github.com instead.)

When it finishes, close that terminal and open a new one — fresh installs don't show up in windows that were already open. Then check it's there:

gh --version

You'll know it worked: you see a version number, like gh version 2.96.0.

2

Sign in to GitHub

Connects your computer to your GitHub account.

gh auth login

If it asks, pick GitHub.com, then HTTPS, then Login with a web browser. It shows a short code and opens your browser — log in, paste the code, click Authorize. No tokens, no settings pages, nothing to copy from anywhere else.

You'll know it worked: the terminal says ✓ Logged in as your username.

3

Let git use that login

One line, once — it's what lets the course keep itself updated forever. Skipping it is the number-one cause of things quietly breaking weeks later.

gh auth setup-git

You'll know it worked: it prints nothing — silence is success here.

That's it — you're ready for Session 1.

The course install itself happens on our first call — we do it together, live. Nothing else to do before then. See you there.

If something looks weird

  • Claude doesn't appear in VS Code at all? VS Code is in Restricted Mode — click Trust Workspace in the banner, then reload. That's VS Code being cautious, not a broken install.

Stuck? Email hello@aiwithremy.com with the step number and a screenshot — that's genuinely all we need.
