You need to be inside a git repository directory for git (and by extention bit) can do anything.

@karx1: I am. Is that not clear from my description? I mention twice that I am doing all this inside a folder with a .git subfolder, so effectively inside a repository.

Updating git worked for me

❯ bit --version
bit version v1.0.1
git version 2.30.1

This also happened to me. Currently on macOS Catalina, 10.15.7. I tried installing with both the shell script and with Homebrew.

My specs:

> bit --version
bit version v1.0.1
git version 2.17.0

I am currently in a Git folder:

> ls .git
HEAD		config		hooks		objects
branches	description	info		refs

The only thing that worked was upgrading to Git 2.30.1.

This issue should now be fixed in version v1.0.2. Please let me know if you're still having problems. Also, consider donating if you're enjoying using Bit :)
