" Not a git repository:" error message on running Contiki tutorial

I'm trying to run the hello-world example in contiki on a sky tmote. I'm using ubuntu and followed this tutorial: http://www.contiki-os.org/start.html

make TARGET=z1 hello-world
make TARGET=z1 savetarget
make hello-world.upload

*make -k -j 20 z1-reset-sequence using saved target 'z1' fatal: Not a git repository: '../../.git'

make login

*../../tools/sky/serialdump-linux: 1: ../../tools/sky/serialdump-linux: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string make: *** [login] Fehler 2

  • errors, I could not solve these errors. PS: I am a beginer to ubuntu and Contiki
Solution

  • What is clear: "Not a git repository:" means that you tried to use git in a directory with no git repository. If you meant to initiate a git repo to backup your code, then:

    cd path/to/your/project
git init
git add --all
git commit -m'a message explaining what's done already'

    Also, read manuals: http://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2
