git pull returns "not a git repository" error

Question

I am attempting to pull my code from a remote repo. When I run 'git pull' I get the following message:

$ git pull
[email protected]'s password:
fatal: 'var/www/html' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Here's my config settings:

$ git config -l
core.symlinks=false
core.autocrlf=true
color.diff=auto
color.status=auto
color.branch=auto
color.interactive=true
pack.packsizelimit=2g
help.format=html

gui.geometry=887x427+26+26 171 192

By the way, 'gui.recentrepo' is wrong. My local repo is located in /Users/Chris/Dev/Projects/Hyperspace/html'

Solution

Are you positive of the remote repo location? Should it be /var/www/html?

It appears that you're accessing the relative path.

try cloning the repo in a new directory. if it doesn't work, something is foobar with the repo.
