When I tried to push an existing repository on github.com, and it when I entered the command the website prompted me to put into the terminal, I got this error message fatal:
Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
If anyone could help me with this, then that would be great, thanks.
For the second situation, you need to initialize the Git repository in your project folder. To do so, you need to navigate to the correct folder and then run the command git init , which will create a new empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one.
Thanks. Yes you can, but there's no need to copy the full working tree. You can copy just the . git folder without the working tree (i.e. as a "bare" repo) and then checkout the latest working tree on the other machine.
The command has to be entered in the directory of the repository. The error is complaining that your current directory isn't a git repo
ls
show the right files?git init
? (git-init documentation)Either of those would cause your error.
