fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
See original GitHub issueI get the following no matter what file I’m investigating:
git rev-parse --show-toplevel (completed in 0.058s)
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
This happens whether I have terminal open at the same location or not.
My seetings file includes:
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe",
"git.path": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\git.exe",
"git.confirmSync": false,
"git.enableSmartCommit": true,
"gitProjectManager.baseProjectsFolders": [
"E:\\simonl\\Documents\\_dev"
],
There is definitely a .git folder at the level of the file being investigated.

You should first run
git initin your current directory.+1
This basically completely breaks this extension for me - it’s quite rare that I open a git repo as the root directory of the work-space.
