Hey @marsonmao , what happens when you do which git ?

[marsonmao]

Hi @jamonholmgren : it says, 'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command

[marsonmao]

Oh sorry didn't state that I'm running on Windows 7. I googled which so I tried where git and it says cant find the file.

[jamonholmgren]

@marsonmao Gotcha! We'll need to check for the presence of git in our prerequisites. I'll let @kevinvangelder take over from here.

[marsonmao]

So, am i supposed to worry about this error? Since this ignite generated project is working fine.

[marsonmao]

@jamonholmgren Oh and thanks for helping!

[jamonholmgren]

@marsonmao Don't worry about it -- sounds like you're good to go!

[jeronnex2]

how was this solved? :(

[ruddell]

@jeronnex2 You can either install git, or pass --skip-git when generating your app.

I think this was fixed in Gluegun, but Ignite still uses an older version

[ryanlntn]

Ignite 3 is now using the latest Gluegun. In addition the ignite-ir-boilerplate-2016 is no longer supported.
