Your current working directory is not inside a repository.  'cd' into the repository and try again.\n\n~ Andrew Keller\n"},{"id":"159830","messageId":"vpq39oit425.fsf@bauges.imag.fr","threadId":"26327","inReplyTo":"1295893245907-5956101.post@n2.nabble.com","subject":"Re: First time gitr - have some questions","fromName":"Matthieu Moy","fromEmail":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","sentAt":"2011-01-24T20:55:14Z","receivedAt":"2011-01-24T20:55:14Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/72c8a2705971a25dfaff23cece15130d405685845d911aedd5667ace277f3fc5?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"toltmanns <toltmanns@gmail.com> writes:\n\n> First off, I may be in the wrong place, but I need a sanity check here.\n>\n> I've downloaded and am attempting to use the git bash app, trying to issue\n> the following command and am getting fatal: Not a git repository\n>\n> git submodule add git@github.com:toltmanns/steal.git public/steal\n\n> I went through directions here -\n> http://www.javascriptmvc.com/docs/getstarted.html#&who=install\n\nThat page says, just above the command you're trying:\n\n  \"You want to fork each project and add it as a submodule to your\n   project\"\n\nwhich you should read as\n\n  \"At this point, you should have a Git project (i.e. repository) of\n  your own, and you can add our projects as subprojects of yours\"\n\nwhich probably implies that you should read some Git tutorial to learn\nhow to deal with your own project before trying to understand\nsubmodules ;-).\n\n-- \nMatthieu Moy\nhttp://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/\n"}]}
