TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable

[bioluria]

I tested make _lastz _chains with the mouse genome mm10 and the human genome hg19, running the script as follows:
python3 /home/luria/make_lastz_chains-2.0.8/make_chains.py hg19 mm10 /home/luria/hg19_chrom.fa /home/luria/mm10_chrom.fa --project_dir /home/luria/mm10_vs_hg19

But I got the following error：
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /work)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

Hello, I have the same problem, did you solve it? Maybe using this should also want to use TOGA to do gene conversion, do you have any good software recommendation？Thank you ！

Hi,

this is a weird error, which should in principle occur everytime.
@kirilenkobm Do you have an idea how to fix that?

@jurin0811 Did you run the quick test sample successfully? If so, there is a quirk in your data. Otherwise, if the same bool error occurs, something is not right with your system.

Thx
