2.66.0 regression: gh pr subcommands don't work anymore if called outside of Git repository #10352
Description
Describe the bug
Hi dear team!
After upgrading to GitHub CLI 2.66.0 we noticed that running gh pr <cmd> <url> fails with the message:
The error message was the following:
could not determine current branch: failed to run git: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
It happens when we run the commands outside of git repository.
We use the gh pr command in composite action, providing a valid token and using ${{ github.event.pull_request.html_url }} as PR URL. Previous versions worked without checking out the repository.
Affected version
2.66.0
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Upgrade to GitHub CLI 2.66.0
- Run any
gh prsubcommand (e.g.gh pr view <url>) outside of git repository - See error:
could not determine current branch: failed to run git: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Expected vs actual behavior
Earlier version of gh pr worked in our workflows without checking out the repository.
We would expect it to work, since we use gh pr with explicit PR URL, in which base and head branches are set.

Thank you for raising this issue, @rd-yan-farba! 🙇 I'm going to begin digging into this and working with the other maintainers regarding the changes from #9208.

@rd-yan-farba : working with @jtmcg and @BagToad, we think we've gotten to the root of this issue and have been refactoring some code and tests to ensure this is properly addressed. we are hoping to cut a hotfix today and hope that we could follow up with you when its available for confirmation this is fixed.
