You have to login first and authorize your Dev Hub on the same folder directory where you will create your scratch def org. sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a DevHubThis is in the prior step, you can't work on them separately. VSCodeQuickstartmy_sfdx_projectdreamhouse-sfdx$ sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a DevHub VSCodeQuickstartmy_sfdx_projectdreamhouse-sfdx$ sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a dreamhouse-orgScratch def org: The scratch def org is a source-driven and disposable deployment of Salesforce code and metadata. A scratch org is fully configurable, allowing developers to emulate different Salesforce editions with different features and preferences

If you're encountering the error "Must pass a username and/or OAuth options when creating an AuthInfo instance" while creating a scratch org in Salesforce DX, ensure you first authorize your Dev Hub using sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a DevHub in the correct project directory. Openguessr
