this says: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git – vuejsdev Aug 05 '20 at 05:45

Do you have .git folder in the root of the directory. If not then try git init command. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-init – Manash Kumar Aug 05 '20 at 05:47

fatal: 'dev' is not a commit and a branch 'My-Branch' cannot be created from it when I use git checkout -b My-Branch dev – vuejsdev Aug 05 '20 at 06:08

Here dev is a placeholder, you should put your develop branch here. If the name of your development branch is "develop" then command should be "git checkout -b my-branch develop" – Manash Kumar Aug 05 '20 at 06:24

Is your dev branch a remote branch or local? What are you getting after git branch command? – Manash Kumar Aug 05 '20 at 06:35
