Weird, you'd think that |

Yeah seems like it's the empty string, must be something weird about how nix is setting up the git repository. Maybe it's empty string if it's a bare repository? Or maybe nix might be mucking with the HEAD in a weird way 🤔 |

Oh actually since we're looking at the output of the |
The unwrap (or '.ok()' rather) triggers for some errors but not
negative status codes. In the case where helix is being packaged
in an empty git repository, the existing mechanism will fail because
git init
git rev-parse HEAD
gives a negative exit code and prints to stderr
stderr: "fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree....
with a stdout of "HEAD\n" (too short to slice with [..8]).

Noticed this when building with a derivation very similar to the one in nixpkgs (https://github.com/the-mikedavis/dotfiles/blob/4767713774fb87b369725585719c75c334ca92a0/overlays/helix.nix): the git hash comes out to the empty string 🤔. The next line takes a
[..8]slice of the string so it ends up panicing.In this case I think it makes sense to leave the revision out of the version string.
