How can I import a github project in sbt?

I followed the instructions found places like here: Sbt project depending on a external & private github repository

So in my build.sbt:

lazy val reflection = RootProject(uri("https://github.com/gzoller/scala-reflection.git")) 
  
lazy val root = project
  .in(file("."))
  (other stuff)
  .dependsOn(reflection)

This pulled down my repo and put it in /Users/me/.sbt/1.0/staging/a9aafe45224f3cdad37a/scala-reflection The repo looks complete.

So when I do a build on my project I get this error:

[info] loading project definition from /Users/me/.sbt/1.0/staging/a9aafe45224f3cdad37a/scala-reflection/project
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
java.lang.RuntimeException: Nonzero exit value: 128

Why do I get this? The project seems to be in the right place and looks like a normal/complete clone.

There does exist a related issue Git source dependencies don't work on Windows #895 which seems to have been resolved, however I can also replicate your problem on my WSL machine with sbt 1.8.2 and git 2.25.1. If the directory is manually created beforehand

/Users/me/.sbt/1.0/staging/a9aafe45224f3cdad37a/scala-reflection

then it seems to work. Probably worth raising the issue again in sbt repo.
