I have searched and read few post but my problem is not the same as descirbed. So here's the issue: using git clone into folder under external partition of the disk works fine but all git commands fails. can't execute git status or git log... I always get error

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount parent /home/kozi) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

Please help me out..

Just type git init into your command line and press enter. Then run your command again, you probably were running git remote add origin [your-repository].

That should work, if it doesn't, just let me know.
