You need to give some space between "." "-name".

there are four part in this command and each part will be separated with space.

part1 = find (actual command)
part2 = . (dot means current directory)

part3= -name (command's args)

part4= ".git" (file or directory name).

So the outcome is

$find . -name ".git"

$find(space).(space)-name(space)".git" #replace "(space)" with " "
