cwd = self._working_dir or os.getcwd()
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/me/.virtualenvs/default/lib/python3.8/site-packages/git/__init__.py", line 89, in <module>
raise ImportError('Failed to initialize: {0}'.format(exc)) from exc
ImportError: Failed to initialize: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
In general os.getcwd() needs to guarded against FileNotFoundError because of the possibility that there is no valid working directory.
GitPython version: 3.1.18
This is certainly not a big issue, but it can be very confusing, and there is (probabaly) not theoretical reason why GitPython cannot work in this case.
