git is not in the build image
A mevcore app hosting error at the “install and build” stage.
What it means
A dependency is installed from a git repository (git+https://… or github:user/repo), but there is no git in the image.
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
How to fix it on mevcore
Publish the package to npm or reference a tarball (https://codeload.github.com/…/tar.gz/…), or install git in your Dockerfile.
- 1 Open the app in the mevcore panel: the Problems card on the overview shows this error and the log line it was found in.
- 2 After the fix, deploy again. If it fails again, the log ends with [mevcore] lines naming the new error code.
- 3 The "Ask AI" button next to the error prepares a request for ChatGPT or Claude: the error code, the end of the log without secrets and the app settings.
