Hi, I got a similar issue running the extension from inside of the VS Code DevContainer (Java 1-8-bullseye)

host os: Mac OS 14.2.1

From inside of the dev container:

Git Graph: 1.30.0 Visual Studio Code: 1.87.2 OS: Linux arm64 6.6.16-linuxkit Git: 2.30.2

debugging, I found out that inside the container, I have 2 versions of git

$ /usr/local/bin/git --version
git version 2.41.0

$ /usr/bin/git --version
git version 2.30.2

the weird part is the VS Code is using the one from /usr/local/bin/git

and once I trigger the git commands to for example pull the changes from the remote repository or commit something from inside of the VS Code I don't get any issue

I also tried to force set the "git.path": "/usr/local/bin/git" but it was ignored by the git-graph extension 🤔

for now, I'll disable this extension on the VS Code DevContainer 😢
