Seems like there is no issues on GitLab CI: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/git/-/pipelines/1777164771 So the only difference, is that, like you mentioned, GitHub strips the repository information by downloading a tar file using the REST API. The reason seems to be due to missing the 'git' executable: https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/363 I tested this with the following patch, which seems to fix the issue at hand. Will send in a new version with this patch, once I validate all the tests. -- >8 -- commit b4567cac2b5eb5e9b50b468a85854bad66a9f445 Author: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 21 13:06:45 2025 +0200 ci/github: install git before checking out the repository The GitHub CI workflow uses 'actions/checkout@v4' to checkout the repository. This action defaults to using the GitHub REST API to obtain the repository if Git isn't present. The REST API downloads a tar of the repository sans the Git information. Since we don't install Git before this step, using the REST API is the current behavior. The following commits will add the 'hdr-check' static check to meson. The check will use 'git ls-files' to obtain the set of header files. This will fail if the repository doesn't contain the Git directory. So install Git before running the 'actions/checkout@v4' action.
