Tutorial: Version Control section: after git clone: no repository detected

[AMDphreak]

Tutorial instructions don't work in the Version control section:

apt update
apt install gitk
cd ~/Sandbox/
git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsystem.git
gitk

Git clone runs and copies but no repository is detected later.

Actual command line output:

Git clone:

ryan@ryan-ADATA:~/Sandbox$ git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsystem.gitCloning into 'mintsystem'...

Gitk:

ryan@ryan-ADATA:~/Sandbox$ gitk

(image is same as above)

Gitg:

gitg also reports an error, so the problem is with the git clone, somehow.

ryan@ryan-ADATA:~/Sandbox$ gitg

OK I tried gitk mintsystem thinking gitk would look inside the mintsystem folder, but this is not what it does. It requires you to be inside the directory to work.

Instructions should be changed to add this after git clone:

cd mintsystem
gitk
