mirror-resources uses host's git

[moosecanswim]

Environment

Device and OS: Rockey9
App version: 0.49.0
Kubernetes distro being used: rke2 1.29
Other:

Steps to reproduce

1. Export Control Plane address, node port, and registry auth
2. Make sure git is not installed on machine
3. Run a zarf package mirror-resources

Expected result

I expected zarf to push the images and gitremotes however i got an error on git. Seems mirror-resources uses the host's git bin. This is different than when you use zarf package deploy which seems to use a packaged git library.

Actual Result

2025-02-24 16:47:05 INF pushing repository to server repo=https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/[email protected] server=
2025-02-24 16:47:07 ERR unable to push repo https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/[email protected] to the Git Server: All attempts fail:
#1: unable to fetch the git repo prior to push: exec: "git": executable file not found in $PATH

To my knowledge - the use of the hosts git is only a fallback mechanism when the process cannot be supported by the go-git library.

Looking at your logs and the faq and example I believe the git url you are using should be supported by go-git - So there is definitely something to investigate further.

@moosecanswim The issue is you need to use the --git-url when using the zarf package mirror-resources command.

Mirror resources is not intuitive as it is now and should require these flags or pull from the registry / git info directly from Zarf state. We have an issue for this - #2389, this is a good note to raise the priority of it, should be simple to implement.
