Common git CLI errors

1. Not a git repository

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Possible causes:

• The folder from where you started your terminal is not a git repository(you can check for a hidden .git folder).
• You cloned a repo and started started inserting commands into same terminal.

Solution:

• After cloning, close terminal and right click->git bash here from inside the new folder that got created.
• Your folder is not a git repo. (Maybe you downloaded the project as zip file instead of cloning?)
