Subject: [Bug] Misleading error message when run in a non-Git directory
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 01:42:25 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c0e916fb-7b0e-1192-e71d-ea6449863e9b@narod.ru> (raw)
git remote add origin ...
produces the error
fatal: remote origin already exists.
when run in the directory which is not initialized by Git (has no .git
folder).
This error message is misleading.
git --version
git version 2.20.1
