Hello! After installing to a fresh macOS Mojave:

- Mono
- Make (via Xcode)
- NodeJS
- NuGet
- Latest Uno

And running “make release” in the Uno directory, I get the following:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git  
make: \*\*\* [release] Error 128

I tried other Uno releases as well, but ends with the same error.

Hi Matti,

I’ve fixed the problem in our build script at [https://github.com/fuse-open/uno/pull/208](https://github.com/fuse-open/uno/pull/208).

For now though, while we wait for a new release, it’s only possible to build using the Git repo.

```auto
$ git clone https://github.com/fuse-open/uno.git
$ cd uno
$ make release

```

Thanks for reporting the issue!
