Root repository denied to install github hook

    sprintly --install-hook
    ERROR:__main__:Fatal Error: 'This command can only be run from the root of a git repository.'
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/bin/sprintly", line 136, in run

        raise SprintlyException('This command can only be run from the root of a git repository.')
    SprintlyException: 'This command can only be run from the root of a git repository.'
    Program exiting.

I'm in the repo's root dir. This error is being generated. Would like to use the hook but don't know how to go forward.

Probably your hooks directory has been deleted.
Perhaps it is part of the way you have your repo configured. (Deploy hooks, etc)

From your repo root try:

mkdir .git/hooks
sprintly --install-hook

Alternatively, can you provide the output of tree in your repo root? Specifically interested in the .git repo.
