Which version of `semantic-release` to update `package.json`?

Matttttttt! I'll probably update this CI instance. On other instances where we're using the latest version of Git we don't have this issue.

these might be helpful for what youre looking for. regardless, git v2.0.0 was released on May 28, 2014 and some pretty major security issues have been fixed since then. your time would probably be better invested in upgrading to a supported version of git

semantic-release require git 2.0.0 at minimum. We started to enforce that in some 15.x version.
Before that, semantic-release with Git v1.x.x was working "sometimes". So we decided to enforce it.

I have git 2.21.0 and I'm seeing this issue - is this a bug?

[rodoabad]

@patrickleet that's on the same node and workspace?

[patrickleet]

@rodoabad it is

sindresorhus/execa#196

perhaps this is related?

I added some logs to see what was going on more:

+ DEBUG='semantic-release*'

+ semantic-release --debug

[11:15:02 PM] [semantic-release] › ℹ  Running temp-semantic-release-debug version 15.13.4

{ stdout: 'git version 1.8.3.1' }

{ versions: [ '1.8.3' ] }

{ gitVersion: '1.8.3' }

[semantic-release]: Git version 2.0.0 is required. Found 1.8.3.

script returned exit code 1

The related issue describes execa modifying paths and causing the wrong version to be used.

That was it!
