"fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git" in bitbucket-pipelines.yml

[Larry Chiem]

I can't get past the "not a git repository" issue.

1. I created a self-hosted windows runner in bitbucket.
2. I followed the commands from creating the self-hosted runner
   1. download the runner zip [I downloaded it into my repo]
   2. unzip the file [within the repo]
   3. launched the runner
3. Edited my bitbucket-pipelines.yml file to build and test:

Saw this documentation on Configure your runner in bitbucket-pipelines.yml

Here's my bitbucket-pipelines.yml

pipelines:

  default:

   - step:

      name: Build and Test with self.hosted runners

      runs-on:

        - self.hosted

        - windows

      clone:

        # disable SSL verification during git clone and allow using a self-signed certificate.
 
        skip-ssl-verify: true

        enabled: true

      script:

         - ls -R $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR

Pipeline failed.

Why is this failing? Makes no sense to me.
