What's Wrong?

I am running Claude Code on windows 11. All of a sudden I cannot push any code into github because Claude cannot find the directory where it started in and kept saying
Bash(git remote -v)
⎿  Error: Working directory "D:\XXXX\Root\DEV\Java\XXXXXXXX" no longer exists. Please restart Claude from an existing directory.

● Bash(git status)
⎿  Cancelled: parallel tool call Bash(git remote -v) errored

● Bash(git log --oneline -5)
⎿  Cancelled: parallel tool call Bash(git remote -v) errored

● Bash(git diff --stat)
⎿  Cancelled: parallel tool call Bash(git remote -v) errored

What Should Happen?

Claude push all the updates to Github
