From: Pranav Annam <pranavan...@gmail.com>
When we create the .env file the UID is set, but we also need to set the
GID,that
can be done by explicitly setting it in the .env file.
If the GID is not set when we go for the next step i.e the 'docker-compose
build'
it fails the docker build with: 'You must define GID in .env'
Although the error message is self explanatory it is good to update
documentation
to reduce the burden on the developer to run into
this build failure first.
