others-how to solve Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git problem ?

Problem

When we do git pull command like this:

[root@bswen-k8s-app5 ~]# git pull [email protected]:bswen/argocd-example-apps.git

we get this :

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

The core error is : fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Why do this error happen? The git repository does exist ,and the url is correct, I promise!!!

Environment

  • git version 2.21.1 (Apple Git-122.3)

Reason

You have not clone the git repository yet!

You should clone it at first, and then pull it if something changes.

Solution

First, clone it:

[root@bswen-k8s-app5 ~]# git clone [email protected]:bswen/argocd-example-apps.git

Then pull the changes in the repo:

[root@bswen-k8s-app5 ~]# cd argocd-example-apps
[root@bswen-k8s-app5 argocd-example-apps] git pull

It works!
