Error: "Could not find commit hash for master"

Hey there—I’m trying to get started with Svelte and running:

Environment:

• macOS 10.14 Mojave
• Node v8.11.4
• degit v2.1.3

Running:

degit sveltejs/template-webpack

… gives me:

! could not find commit hash for master

Double checking that the user/repo is correct, I’m not really sure why it can’t find the hash. I tried it with a couple other repos out there and no-go.

Any ideas?

Setting the cache value to false in the degit options solved this for me:

degit(repo, {
      cache: false,
      force: true,
      verbose: true,
    });

Well derp, I was trying to run this on a new Macbook Pro that I hadn’t installed Xcode or the Command Line Tools on, so git wasn’t ready to go yet. Now that it’s installed, I tried degit again and everything worked like a charm.

It may be pertinent in the rare cases when people don’t have git properly configured (who even does that?!) that degit properly pass any errors along that may occur like this.
