ALL I WANT TO DO IS THIS -
I built something cool on v0.dev - it’s cool. Now I need to change some code. HOW???
I have tried for over 2 hrs to get the “add to codebase” to work, but it does not.
Here is what I tried.
Create a folder
Start VS Code

use all the defaults - this is creating a folder under the folder that I created maybe this is issue
cd into newly created folder
npm run dev - looks like it is working
now I am importing via “add to codebase” running “npx shadcn@latest add “https://v0.dev/chat/b/b_oz5c4FD9vHm?token=ey …””
Now npm run dev NO LONGER WORKS - I cant preview the v0.dev code. HELP I know it is something stupid I am missing
