[Mac Ventura 13.6.6] Repo corruption happens with every change, despite getting healthy clone from online repo.

Body

Hey, Ive had this issue for a month now, and Ive tried what i know to fix the issue, with the help of ChatGPT, but it just suddenly happens again it just seems like it is when i make a change. The error comes from the github desktop app that suddenly disconnects and switches between 10 or so errors that look something like this;

Command failed: /Applications/GitHub Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app/git/bin/git log HEAD --date=raw --max-count=100 --skip=0 -z --format=%H%x00%h%x00%s%x00%b%x00%an <%ae> %ad%x00%cn <%ce> %cd%x00%P%x00%(trailers:unfold,only)%x00%D --no-show-signature --no-color --

Im using homebrew git. What ive done is reinstalled git and checked for any issues with it, but i cant find any. Ive also deleted the folder when it gets like this, and cloned it from the online repo. It then works fine. Git commands work, git fsck --full works, no issues. Git status is fine, every command works as it should. But then i make some change and suddenly the errors reappear and everything turns into a mess again. My only work around has been pushing the repo and then downloading it again, which removes errors temporarily.

Im new to github, so Im no expert. I only have based myself from the help of chatGPT, and some forum posts, and I really cant find anything regarding this online. I dont know if ive corrupted it and then somehow the corruption still lurks in the repo, waiting for any changes. Id really appreciate any insights or help with this.

Ive also made the repo public now, so others can test it as well. Irs called smart-objects and its an After Effects script that im working on.

I also want to add im using VSCodeStudio! Along with a workspace. Rebooting sometimes fixes it, but it keeps happening at sme later time. It always does. Im also working on a server at work. But i dont see why any disconnection (of which there really arent any) would do anything else than make github desktop say it cant find the target repo.
