Legacy GM Source control with git [Solved]

[Brenden]

I followed a tutorial from the official GM:S page https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us...-1-GameMaker-Studio-Source-Control-Management, finished but when I add all resources from source control box I get an error in the compiler window "fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
Here is some useful info

I initialized a repository in a separate location on a separate hard drive, D:/RPG Using the git bash application.
The folder RPG is empty however.
I did edit the SCM config to all the correct settings from the tutorial.

You have to initialize the repository right where the project is, even if you intend for the remote to be on a separate hard drive. Git is a distributed system, unlike SVN.

Assuming that you have already set up D:\RPG as a bare repository, this is what you'd do in the project directory:

git init
echo SCIfile.txt > .gitignore
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin D:\RPG
git push --set-upstream origin master

I inputted each line but the last one returned an error

$ git push --set-upstream origin master

To D:/RPG
! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out)

I tried the git reset --hard but got the same error when trying again.
For the rest I have yet to try because I don't know how to type that into git.

I did some messing around. And I got the push to work.
I deleted the D:/RPG rep and used "git init --bare RPG.git" to create a bare rep in its place. I had to remove the old remote and set the new one to D:/RPG.git and that did it. I pushed and got this beauty.
* [new branch] master -> master
Branch 'master' set up to track remote branch 'master' from 'origin'.

Thanks for your help!
