fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Hi, there is a simple lazy.lua file without any plugin but lazy.nvim. When I check an update of the lazy.nvim plugin in Lazy or it is performed automatically by checker was enabled I've got a git error:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim is a repo directory contenting .git. Please suggest how to get rid the error.

My setup: MacOS Monterey 12.7.6, neovim 0.10.2

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require("lazy").setup({}, {
  checker = {
    enabled = false,
    notify = true,
  },
  change_detection = {
    notify = false,
  },
})

this is from the docs see if using this instead for bootstrapping produces any difference:

-- Bootstrap lazy.nvim
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
  local lazyrepo = "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git"
  local out = vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "--branch=stable", lazyrepo, lazypath })
  if vim.v.shell_error ~= 0 then
    vim.api.nvim_echo({
      { "Failed to clone lazy.nvim:\n", "ErrorMsg" },
      { out, "WarningMsg" },
      { "\nPress any key to exit..." },
    }, true, {})
    vim.fn.getchar()
    os.exit(1)
  end
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

the other thing you can try doing is uninstalling and then reinstalling with the recommended bootstrap config above
