rake newclear "Not a git repository"

[bigtunacan]

Just setup a sample bluepotion app and everything worked up until I tried running rake newclear which produces the following output. ( I have Gradle 2.8 installed via Homebrew).

Cleaning Project...

This is because of this line in the Rakefile. app.version_code = (git rev-list HEAD --count.strip.to_i).to_s

You will just want to run git init and commit the changes or change that line.

@QuintinAdam Thanks. I updated this in my Rakefile after posting the issue here as a workaround, but forgot to close.
