Jekyll 3.7.3 | Error: No such file or directory - git rev-parse HEAD

I get the above error when running bundle exec jekyll serve against a my project. The full details of the error are included below after I have switched on verbose.
My colleague can run the command bundle exec jekyll serve against this project successfully, but I always get this error.
