What should I do if after changine directory and entering “git remote -v” this error message appears:

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

Hi,

I am not getting desired output.

After typing both the below commands -
cd my-quizzes
git remote -v

Output: fatal: Not a git repository(for any of the parent directories)

Please advice.

Thanks.

I think, you should clone again:

git clone science-quizzes my-quizzes
Then:

cd my-quizzes
git remote -v

Hi,
I restarted the whole process again.
It worked later.
Thanks.

What do you mean by remote address?

It’d just be referring to the web address of a remote repository e.g. the git source code-
https://github.com/git/git

The window keeps disconnecting / reconnecting to the Codecademy server, and when it reconnects, it has deleted all my progress for this lesson and I have start the whole thing over again and type it in real fast before it disconnects again.

It has been doing it all night. Very frustrating.
