I’m using Documenter on NixOS. When I run julia --project make.jl, I get the following error:
┌ Warning: Unable to determine HTML(edit_link = ...) from remote HEAD branch, defaulting to "master".
│ Calling `git remote` failed with an exception. Set JULIA_DEBUG=Documenter to see the error.
│ Unless this is due to a configuration error, the relevant variable should be set explicitly.

│ IOError: could not spawn setenv(`/home/laikq/.julia/artifacts/8cb25db9a73519e871cc50d6915f8ab2770096f3/bin/git remote show origin`
Obviously, calling git fails. This comes as no surprise, since ldd ~/.julia/artifacts/8cb25db9a73519e871cc50d6915f8ab2770096f3/bin/git also shows:

I’m not sure what’s the best way to proceed to get Documenter to use git normally. I know that I can also disable git, but this doesn’t work (or I don’t know how to make it work) for the function doctest. Maybe nix-alien or nix-ld are part of the solution, or artifact overrides.
