cdk init requires git global configuration
See original GitHub issueOn my machine I don’t have a global git config for username and email because for every repository I create I want to explicitly set whether I’m using my work or personal account. Since I don’t have that I get errors when I execute cdk init app --language=typescript
> cdk init app --language=typescript

*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'Norm@master-control.(none)')
git exited with status 128
Looks like the project isn’t finished creating either because when I run cdk synth I get errors about a missing hello-cdk.js.

I think we might also just be able to survive a failing git command and notify the user.
The setup probably finished, but what didn’t happen is that the project got compiled for you.
You need to run:
