For context: the CLI actually copies your repo into a temporary directory before running the Git commands from there. This error looks a bit unusual, so I made a special debug build of the CLI that logs extra info.
Could you please run it and share the output? Here’s how:
Clone the repo:git clone https://github.com/codecrafters-io/cli && cd cli
Checkout the debug branch:git checkout andy/debug-temp-branch
Re-install the CLI:make install
Once you’ve run the same command again, could you please paste the full output? Thanks!
FYI, here’s what the extra logs look on my machine:
No CodeCrafters git remotes found. Available remotes: ``https://github.com/codecrafters-io/cli Please run this command from within your CodeCrafters Git repository.
Looks like you ran codecrafters test inside the cli repo. Could you try running it from within ~/projects/edu/codecrafters/codecrafters-shell-go and sharing the output again? Thanks!
Could you try deleting the existing codecrafters binary, reinstall the debug build from the andy/debug-temp-branch branch, and then run codecrafters test again inside your challenge repo? Thanks!

Those patterns are a bit unusual since Git treats .git/ specially, and it ends up interfering with our CLI, which relies on the .git/ directory being present to interact with the repository correctly.
Removing these lines from your global gitignore should resolve the issue. Let me know how it goes!
