ode:=diff(y(t),t) = 3*y(t)*(y(t)-2); 
ic:=[y(-2) = -1]; 
dsolve([ode,op(ic)],y(t), singsol=all);
 

\[ y = -\frac {2}{3 \,{\mathrm e}^{12+6 t}-1} \]

✗ Mathematica

ode=D[y[t],t]==3*y[t]*(y[t]-2); 
ic={y[-2]==-1};

from sympy import * 
t = symbols("t") 
y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq((6 - 3*y(t))*y(t) + Derivative(y(t), t),0) 
ics = {y(-2): -1} 
dsolve(ode,func=y(t),ics=ics)
 

\[ y{\left (t \right )} = \frac {2}{3 \left (- e^{6 t} + \frac {1}{3 e^{12}}\right ) e^{12}} \]
