I am trying to build Go and I get this error, what does this mean?

Building Go cmd/dist using /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.15.2/libexec. (go1.15.2 darwin/amd64)
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
HEAD

go tool dist: FAILED: git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD: exit status 128

What are the exact steps that you took to produce that error?

This kind of error happens when trying to build the tip of Go development but not using a git repository.
