AssertionError: Invalid index file header: b'cons'

When I run the tool via docker command:

docker run --rm -ti \
    -v /tmp/githack/results:/tmp/githacker/results \
    -v /tmp/githack/__init__.py:/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/GitHacker/__init__.py \ # Custom file, see issue #26 
    wangyihang/githacker \
     --output-folder /tmp/githacker/results --url http://WXYZ.com/.git/config

I get back this error

and no result :(

Ah 🤦 nevermind, I was hitting one honeypot server... so the /.git folder didn't actually serve any real git file

Okay, never mind.
