ENOGIT on trying to start an Ionic2 project

See original GitHub issue

I am having problems creating a new Ionic2 project. I followed exactly the Installing Ionic for version 2 found here https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/getting-started/installation/ and get the below error.

Steps to reproduce:

I ran: ionic start myFirstProject --v2 2.Same thing happens with: ionic start myFirstProject blank --v2

I am not sure if we are facing the same problem. I didn’t have git installed when I ran the command to start the ionic 2 project so that’s why I got the error. Once I installed git as per @karlpatrickespiritu https://github.com/karlpatrickespiritu recommendation, it worked.
