I have the same problem with windows 10 in a .net 5.0 project.

I also have this problem, Windows 10 and .NET Framework 4.7.2 project. Downgrading to 5.6.6 fixes the problem for me, not sure why 5.6.7 doesn't work.

I had the same error. I had missing GitVersion.yml in the root directory and the git repo didn't have any commits 😅
After that, it worked like a charm 😍

We ran into a similar issue but this time the problem was that we had a project specific Gitversion.yml. We could workaround the issue by adding

  <!-- Workaround to make sure GitVersion uses the project specific config file -->
  <PropertyGroup>
    <GitVersion_ToolArgments>$(GitVersion_ToolArgments) -config "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\GitVersion.yml"</GitVersion_ToolArgments>
  </PropertyGroup>

With version 5.6.8 the problem is the same :(
We have not gitversion.yml, cause we are happy with the default options.
