How to solve the error "fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git&qu-CodePudding

I have cloned a git repository and created a new project in pycharm. Now, i have created a new experimental branch in bitbucket and want to git checkout locally.

Hence, I use "

git checkout feature/MLJ-62-move-merging-of-reoccurring-layouts"

But I have this error,

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

What I do:

this happens when git can't find the branch name.
