Command used with act

act -j pre-commit -v

Describe issue

I run a git pre-commit with .pre-commit-config.yaml and use the action pre-commit/action@v3.0.0

Unfortunately while this work on Github.com it fails with act with an error message that it does not see this repo as a git repo which is pretty strange so how can I tell if git is properly installed?

Working directory '/Users/rich/ws/git/src/bin'
| An error has occurred: FatalError: git failed. Is it installed, and are you in a Git repository directory?
