Git repo in /etc/nixos breaks rebuild

Help
1

i initialized a git repo in my /etc/nixos folder. after that, i couldnt rebuild or update my flake anymore. why is this?

2

nix won’t recognise files that aren’t at least staged. Try git add . and then rebuild again.

oh yeah, works fine. thanks.

Note, this only applies to flakes, and only to files that were previously never added to the git repo
