fatal Not a git repository or any of the parent directories from git status

Question

This command works to get the files and compile them   git clone a-valid-git-url   for example   git clone git   cfdem git sourceforge net gitroot cfdem liggghts   However  git status  or any other git command  then gives the above fatal  Not a git repository  or any of the parent directories  error   What am I doing wrong

git clone https   github com klevamane projone git Cloning into  projone     remote  Counting objects  81  done  remote  Compressing objects  100   66 66   done  remote  Total 81  delta 13   reused 78  delta 13   pack-reused 0 Unpacking objects  100   81 81   done    you have to  cd projone   then you can check status     One reason why this was difficult to notice at first  i because you created a folder with the same name already in your computer and that was where you cloned the project into  so you have to change directory again

Sometimes its because of ssh  So you can use this   git clone https   cfdem git sourceforge net gitroot cfdem liggghts   instead of   git clone git   cfdem git sourceforge net gitroot cfdem liggghts
