Kubeflow-JupyterLab - Jupyterlab-git is unable to recognize git folder #1314
Description
We have setup a kubeflow environment, where we are running our JupyterLab as part of docker-image(kubeflownotebookswg/jupyter-scipy:v1.7.0). We are able to clone the repository in the JupyterLab, but when we click the git icon on JupyterLab for the cloned repo, we are unable to see branch or changes. It still shows the below message
You are not currently in a Git repository. To use Git, navigate to a local repository, initialize a repository here, or clone an existing repository.
Also looked at the Issue: #179
Modified the --notebook-dir, it still didn't work.
FYI
while cloning the repo in jupyterlab, we see a log on notebook server as follows
E 2024-02-07 12:28:40.798 ServerApp] 500 POST /notebook/project-name/test-git-nb/git/clone?1707308919343

Next, we also checked if jupyterlab_git is enabled
` Validating jupyterlab_git...
jupyterlab_git 0.30.1 OK
- Extension successfully enabled.`
@jupyterlab/git v0.30.1 enabled OK (python, jupyterlab-git)
How to move forward with this issue?
