Cool. The reasoning there is that the git commands can, for the most 
part, only be issued where there is an existing git structure. The 
remote command failed because git failed to locate a .git folder in the 
folder where you were. When you move down into the livecode folder, you 
end up in a folder where the git clone command has already created a 
.git subfolder for you.

You can have different remotes for different folders, so what the add 
remote command does for you there is to associate the livecode folder 
with an alias named 'upstream'. If you then want to contribute to, for 
example, the ide submodule, you may want to cd into the ide folder and 
set a different remote for it.
