Subgraph initialisation failed due to: git commit -m "Initialize subgraph"

@graphprotocol/graph-cli

Describe the issue

Upon initialising a subgraph (hosted-service), the initialisation broke with the following trace:
✖ Failed to fetch Start Block: Failed to fetch contract creation transaction hash
✔ Do you want to retry? (Y/n) · true
✔ Fetching Start Block
✔ Start Block · 17025946
✔ Contract Name · Contract
✔ Index contract events as entities (Y/n) · true
Generate subgraph
Write subgraph to directory
✔ Create subgraph scaffold
✔ Initialize networks config
✖ Failed to initialize subgraph repository: Command failed: git commit -m "Initialize subgraph"

Error: Command failed: git commit -m "Initialize subgraph"

Code: 1

For context, I have git initialised in my cli and setup appropriately, my git cli version is "git version 2.39.3 (Apple Git-145)"

For further context, here is the version of graph and node cli that I am using:
graph --version
@graphprotocol/graph-cli/0.66.0 darwin-arm64 node-v21.2.0

Reproduction

There is no repo yet, I am stuck at the first step of initilisation

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

Upon following the default steps at Initialising a hosted service subgraph, the first step to graph init is causing this issue for me.
It isn't my first subgraph but this error started occuring randomly.

The command I ran: graph init --product hosted-service shantanu-bico/sa-v1-factory-ethereum
The output trace recieved:
✔ Ethereum network · mainnet
✔ Contract address · 0x000000f9ee1842bb72f6bbdd75e6d3d4e3e9594c
✔ Fetching ABI from Etherscan

Expected behavior

I expect the graph to be initialised

do you have git installed?

[shantanu-bico]

Yes @saihaj , I do, as I mentioned the git cli version is "git version 2.39.3 (Apple Git-145)"
And also, this issue is new, I have developed and deployed multiple subgraphs before.

[saihaj]

hmm so to unblock you try graph init --skip-git. That should let you init a subgraph.

I am curious why git commit is failing there isn't any detailed error. Can you try running DEBUG=graph-cli:* graph init and then we can see if there are more useful logs

[shantanu-bico]

Yes, adding --skip-git worked.
Here are the logs you requested:

@shantanu-bico I added some more debug logs around the git init flow. Can you try running this version 0.67.3-alpha-20240124142956-af00244 with the debug flag?
