As I build out my package I'd like to have some version control. So I create a git repository in the Package root. However, I discovered that when the repository exists I cannot rebuild the package (say, after adding a new object). Cmake will return errors.

If I delete the .git folder for the package root then cmake will run just fine.

Is this a known issue? Is it expected? Does anybody have any suggestions or workarounds?

Any other thoughts on how to implement some version control with MIN?

I know a lot of these questions are probably rooted in my own inexperience. I'd love to get some insight into the best way to go about this. Thanks for any input!

hard to say what you are running into without knowing the exact steps you are taking. There are currently a few different workflows available to min users. What exact cmake errors are you getting?

Here's a basic workflow I just tested to verify things are working.

If any of these steps aren't working for you please provide details so that we can reproduce.

clone the latest min-devkit from the github repo, as described in the readme 

from the local copy of min-devkit run the package create script: 

ruby script/create_package.rb ../mindevtest

To add this project to a github repo (after setting up proper github account credentials on my machine), I follow the instructions here (starting with creating the remote repo) - https://docs.github.com/en/github/importing-your-projects-to-github/importing-source-code-to-github/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line 

The ruby script has already called git init on our local repo, so we only need to add in the files and commit.

git commit -m "mindev github test commit"

git remote add origin https://github.com/[my-github-username]/mindevtest.git

add a new object duplicating the hello-world folder and renaming where appropriate (as described here)

It sounds like you started from a git clone which is why there was already a .git directory. Now that it's deleted, you should be able to do a `git init` and have a clean git history.

If I had to guess why there were CMake errors is that it's likely that CMake was trying to run git commands with no git repository set up (once .git/ was deleted).
