D277 stuck linking Git/VScode

Hey peeps, I need a bit of help. Pretty new to coding but I've used VScode before a little. I'm following the directions for part 2 of the project but I'm stuck trying to link Git to VScode. The cloning process never finishes and Git tries to open again, even though I have it up on the browser for the student stuff. Am I supposed to make a personal account to proceed through this step? The directions have none of this on there and act like once you select the HTTPS drop-down option from the "Code" blue box it should clone no problem? Any help would be appreciated!!
