当我在git命令提示符下键入“ git add”时，收到致命消息，即不是git存储库。

Question

I wanted to add screen shot of that, but i didn't have that much reputation as I am new to this. I am getting fatal message ie not a git repository, when I am typing "git add ." in git command prompt. I am currently new to ruby on rails.What should I do?

It sounds to me that when you are executing git add . your current directory is not part of the working tree of a git repository.

Make sure that there is a .git folder (containing the Git repository) in you current directory or a parent directory of the current directory. If there is not, you need to properly initialize a git repository by git clone (if you are starting from some other git repository) or git init (if you are starting a new repository).
