gitpuller errors

[miramar-labs]

I followed the instructions and installed gitpuller locally.
I created a repo here: https://github.com/miramar-labs/jlab-user-env.git
I then created a local test folder on my laptop:
mkdir test1
cd test1
then I tried:
gitpuller https://github.com/miramar-labs/jlab-user-env.git master .

got errors:
gitpuller https://github.com/miramar-labs/jlab-user-env.git master .
$ git fetch

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

any idea what I'm doing wrong?
also tried it from my jupyter singleuser pod .. same thing....

I just had this problem. Fixed it (I think) by running a git init in the directory that I was pulling into so that there is at least a .git set up in there.

Apologies for responding to this so late!

I think this is a duplicate of #15, so am going to close this in favor of that. Please re-open if you think otherwise.

Again, so sorry to respond so late!

If anybody lands here because they are using jupyter-books and the launch buttons are not working properly: I fixed this issue by removing the trailing "/" of the repo-url in my _config.yml file.
