Start Vim with a minimal configuration

vim -Nu <(curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/6936bf79fedd3a079aeb1dd2f3c81ef5/raw)

This issue persists with the minimal configuration. I did a PlugUpdate which would pull the latest fzf, ever since then, any directory I open and run :GitFiles that is a git directory, i get this issue.

Command failed: git -C '/home/user/git-repo-for-sure' ls-files -z --deduplicate

I ran the command that failed, and it appears --deduplicate is not an option for git.

I have been running the default setup for fzf for several years, is this a new change? Do I need to do anything?

I'm seeing this issue as well. I'm on

fzf --version
0.27.0 (19759ed)

git --version
git version 2.25.1

NVIM v0.8.1
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

531dd67350331771c0c099e9682a05744149e7b9 replaced uniq with --deduplicate option to filter out duplicates from git ls-files, because some versions of uniq are not capable of handling NUL-character-terminated lists.

But it turns out --deduplicate is a relatively recent addition to git, only available on 2.31 or above. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/commit/fd7fab77b20fdf09180cabdd660d8c3b7fe7ca1a fixed it by not using the option on older git versions, but that means you may see duplicates, unless you upgrade your git version.

Updating with sudo apt install git. Removing fzf and fzf.vim Plug lines, reloading vim and running :PlugClean, then adding fzf.vim and fzf back to my vimrc, reloading vim once again, and running :PlugInstall once again resolved the issue, as it forced fzf and git to be at the latest

the short here was running :PlugUpdate, did not actually update fzf.

No need to remove and reinstall. You can just just run :PlugUpdate.
