I'm getting this prompt trying to open up my Unreal Engine 5.3 project after adding UEGitPlugin-3.16 to my project. If I try to rebuild, I get this error:

I've done all of the steps up until Status Branches. I'm following a guide on setting up git, lfs, and Azure Devops for Unreal Engine development. The guide tells me to open up the project and rebuild after adding the UEGitPlugin in the plugins folder and adding the settings to the .ini files. Do I need to do the Status branches portion in the Readme before I can run this?
