Note: I have tried running the

sudo xcode-select --reset
sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

as mentioned in this comment and it does not fix.

I have also used 0.14 in this project directory successfully for a while, and it just broke today. Not sure what changed..

I might have run devbox global run -- nix store gc --extra-experimental-features nix-command since then - maybe that was it?

There is no /nix/store/lsjl29pwp5if71jfgxlv8fifsrpax805-apple-sdk-11.3 directory, but there are several references to it in the /nix/store directory:

found a workaround, export DEVBOX_USE_VERSION=0.13.7 or set -x DEVBOX_USE_VERSION 0.13.7 (fish) before cding into a devbox managed dir lets me use git, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use git in any of my projects at all..
