Not a git repository after cloning a git repository

Question

After cloning a git repository using

git clone https://github.com/********/****.git

I just tried to push something into the same git repo, but it shows:

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

How can I fix this?

Check if the directory you are trying to pull has a .git folder — Emiliano Schiano, Nov 21 '18 at 11:28

You probably forgot to switch to the project directory after pulling the project.

$> cd PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT_DIR can solve your problem.

there is no any directory in the name of that git repo – Nikhil Nov 22 '18 at 05:06

@Nikhil, let's say i'm clonning project using command `$> https://github.com/fewlinesofcode/myProj.git`, then, after clonning my next command will be `$> cd myProj`. `myProj` is the directory name if it's not set manually. You should replace `myProj` with the name of your project – fewlinesofcode Nov 22 '18 at 05:31

Either you forgot to switch to the project directory or the clone process was not successful. Please check carefully.
