Describe the bug
I am teaching a friend VSCode Dev Containers, and was hoping to use your guide here to help him start learning SQL with a Dev Container.

After launching the "Learn SQL by Building a Student Database: Part 1" tutorial, the first prompt indicates to launch a terminal with a '"hamburger" menu at the top left of the screen'. No such menu appears in the VS Code dev container.

Furthermore, launching a normal terminal from within the VS Code dev container to do the first instruction, echo hello SQL is not detected by the CodeRoad extension, so there is no way to advance past the first step in the tutorial.

Please advise, as I would like to help my friend learn SQL without all of the overhead of having to install a database into his system-wide environment.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Follow steps 1-8 from your guide here, although there is a need to remove the tmp folder and contents from the Dev Container's working directory before the CodeRoad extension will launch since it requires an empty directory.
  2. Try to advance past the first exercise by finding the nonexistent 'hamburger' menu to launch a terminal that is tracked by CodeRoad extension
  3. When failing to find that hamburger menu (the closest thing to that menu contains nothing about launching a terminal), run the command in the normal terminal instead, but observe that the extension does not track the normal terminal.

See the screenshots below.

Expected behavior
Either the tutorial would have instructions that were accurate or the tutorial would allow you to run the commands in the terminal directly.
