Solutions

1. Confirm network/git access: `git ls-remote https://github.com/hasura/codegen-assets`.
2. Fix proxy configuration (HTTPS_PROXY / git config http.proxy).
3. Delete the local codegen-assets clone and rerun to reclone.
4. Ensure git is installed and the CLI home dir is writable.

git ls-remote https://github.com/hasura/codegen-assets.git >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo ok

Catch, fix connectivity/proxy, delete the local clone dir, and retry.

When it happens

Trigger: Running `hasura actions use-codegen` with no network access to github.com, missing git binary, bad proxy, or a corrupt/unwritable local clone directory.

Common situations: Offline development, CI without github egress, TLS-intercepting proxies, or a previous interrupted clone.
