use package.json for version information? HG no .git.

we use mercurial for scm, no .git dir

shouldnt it be using package.json .version?

yes, we should be compatible with non-git repos

I initiated a git folder in the project and committed files to fix this issue, But this should be handled in a proper way.

I too am bumping into this error, but in a different context. I am using a Dockerfile to build my CLI and intentionally do not want or need my Git repo in my image.

My workaround is similar to that of @NipunaPrashan where I am installing git and running git init .. I would rather not have to do this, as it's not clear why git is a dependency for oclif.
