14,099 PointsFatal Error while trying to upload to github.com
I've gone through this twice and was unable to load files remotely into a github repository.
I'm getting a fatal error message: "Fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home/treehouse/workspace) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS>FILESYSTEM not set)"
After failing twice, I went to github.com and created the repository on the site and I'm still getting the same error.

8,309 PointsNo matter what I did I got a fatal error on the treehouse console at the same place, despite following her steps exactly and triple checking my work. I think it's a limitation of the console within the workspace environment, as least it appears that way for me.
When I had done the Git course I had downloaded git bash onto my PC and I was able to replicate all the same steps in the actual console. I didn't have her python files but I created a basic readme file of my own and I was able to successfully push it to Git Hub.
So I know the process works, but not on the treehouse workspace console.
