git.exc.InvalidGitRepositoryError

[mohoray]

Following is the snippet of the code I am using.

import git
repo = git.Repo(search_parent_directories=True)
branch = repo.active_branch

After running the code, I have received the following error.

File "/home/user_name/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/git/repo/base.py", line 181, in __init__
    raise InvalidGitRepositoryError(epath)
git.exc.InvalidGitRepositoryError: /home/user_name/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/git/repo

It will be really great if I get some suggestions about solving this error. I am using gitpython version 3.1.12.

Thanks a lot.

Does the path at 'current working directory' actually contain a repository? Here is what GitPython does to figure out if there is a git directory.

Without further information there is not much that can be done here.

I will check that. Thank you
