install.git_missing_repo

The build runs git, but the code has no .git

A mevcore app hosting error at the “install and build” stage.

What it means

The code is delivered without the .git folder, so git describe, git rev-parse and similar commands fail.

The error happened while installing dependencies or building the project. The new version was not started, the current one keeps running.

Typical causes

The install or build command exited with an error
Out of memory or disk space
The language or package manager version is not the one the project expects
