Answer 1

Hi Manogna!

Thanks for reaching out.

This error message appears when you run git in a directory that is not a working tree. Make sure you are in your project directory and not inside .git when executing the add command.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Ivan

I don't think the previous answer is helpful. I came across it in my Google search.

I got the same error and basically what I did was to type: cd .. which took me to master...
