I have set up Parse Server on my Mac. I am trying to add a forked repo but npm install fails with below error.
> fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
> npm ERR! /bin/sh: hg: command not found
> npm ERR! node:child_process:965
> npm ERR! throw err;
> npm ERR! ^
> npm ERR!
> npm ERR! Error: Command failed: git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD || hg branch
> npm ERR! fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Things I tried:
- If I replace URL with repo’s version number then no error.
- Using original repo’s URL also causes same error.
- Tried adding “#release” in URL also.
- Installed Mercurial
- Repo is public but tried with GitHub token in URL also
