Your code is running inside another directory, not your project directory. The new directory is not a git repo, which is why you’re seeing this error.

I created a doc that describes what’s going on and gives you some working code to use if you need it:

The approach here is to include your git repo as a dependency for the build. The example provides examples of copying the repo (expensive but safe - there’s no chance of getting different results depending on when the code is run) and linking (efficient but sensitive to when you run the code).
