Just installed git on Windows. I set the GIT_DIR variable to be c:\git\ and verified that this environment variable is maintained by cygwin (i.e. echo $GIT_DIR is what it should be). I went to the folder that I wanted to create the git repository for, let's say c:\www, and then ran:
git init git add . Then I get the error:
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree I'm not sure what went wrong, but the c:\git directory has a config file that says:
[core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = false bare = true symlinks = false ignorecase = true I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be bare and that's our problem.

Check that you correctly created the repo. If the directory doesn't contain a . git repo, use git init to properly initialize the repo or clone an existing repo. Make sure your HEAD file contains the correct information on your current branch.
A Git worktree is a linked copy of your Git repository, allowing you to have multiple branches checked out at a time. A worktree has a separate path from your main working copy, but it can be in a different state and on a different branch.
What does “fatal: not a git repository” mean? This error means you attempted to run a Git command, but weren't inside a Git repository. Make sure you've: Navigated to the right directory.
Compared to --bare , --mirror not only maps local branches of the source to local branches of the target, it maps all refs (including remote-tracking branches, notes etc.) and sets up a refspec configuration such that all these refs are overwritten by a git remote update in the target repository.
Also, you are probably inside the .git subfolder, move up one folder to your project root.
