Hi All,  
I’ve recently started learning dbt and I’m following the **dbt Fundamentals (VS Code)** course.

While going through the setup process, I noticed a continuity issue between **“Install the dbt VS Code Extension + dbt Fusion Engine (Windows)”** and the step where we **create the `profiles.yml` file**.

In the first video, the Snowflake configuration and connection details shown are completely different. Later, the course clones the **dbt Fundamentals** project from GitHub into a separate project folder.

However, when creating the `profiles.yml` file inside this new `dbt Fundamentals` project, the Snowflake account, user, warehouse, schema, role, and other configuration details shown in the video are completely different from those in the earlier setup.

I couldn’t find any explanation in the course about **why these Snowflake configurations change, whether they are supposed to be different, or which values a learner should actually use**.

Could someone please clarify how these two setups are related and what configuration I should follow?

I’ve attached screenshots from the official course video for reference.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as I’m currently stuck at this step.
