That's because you are inside the folder.  Go outside

    $ guix hash -rx shinyln
   10nfjllq28jrzxd4dfqm6xzx8f2g1m6p2vivzihxc7d3ac1imnk2

where shinyln is whatever the name of the folder where the Git repo is.

Here, you are using the Git serializer when Guix uses the Nar one.
The correct is:

    guix hash -S nar -x shinyln

Indeed,

    $ guix hash -S git foo -x
    0czq9304mdv9f2j6a8cdi9855sl8w595p06c1m8bn9pg391lhcal
    $ guix hash -S git foo
    0czq9304mdv9f2j6a8cdi9855sl8w595p06c1m8bn9pg391lhcal

Hum, I will check if it is expected.
