CircleCI tests failing

CircleCI tests have been failing for a while now since (842e2a2).

I believe the issue is that CircleCI is running on go version 1.17.2, but the changes in the linked commit require go version 1.18 for generics. However, updating the go version in CircleCI seems to also change the git version that is used which then runs into a different issue where it doesn’t seem to have permission to make a directory.
