This error may happen because the target folder already exists or was removed during the project creation.

Hi @Akryum,
First thank you for your great work on the GUI.

I just want to add more information about the issue.
I can replicate the problem if I choose folder that already exist and set "Overwrite target folder if it exist" to true.. everything else as default.

I am expecting it should be OK to use existing folder if we choose to overwrite it.

If I check the target folder, package.json file is created.

The log seems stuck in git initialization

So it seems the cli wasn't able to delete the folder. Could you try with vue create folder-name -f?

I resolved it by increasing the RAM

My issue was I was running a command in a previously deleted directory which I had recreated, but my bash session was still in the old version of that directory.
