Hi @elviskuang! Welcome to the community,…
Normally this means you were not in a directory that is a git repo when you tried to run a git command.
Did you download the zip or clone the repo?

Hi @jimdgit! I also have the same problem that @elviskuang had… Personally, I cloned the repo from git, as the guide suggests. Could it be a problem related to the installed git version? I have the 2.7.4 version and it seems to be the already upgraded version (in Linux 16.04)…
