weird solution, in my project package.json->scripts section this command was written "install:submodules": "git submodule update --init --recursive",

when I was using command npm run install:submodules I was facing this error

but when I directly used the command git submodule update --init --recursive it ran successfully.

I've run into this issue with the latest Git on Windows (v2.17.1.windows.2) and solved it both for cmd and PowerShell by adding two directories to PATH:

  • C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
  • C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core

enter image description here

From elevated powershell you could set it using:

$env:Path += ";c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core"
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' -Name PATH -Value $env:Path

I was having the same issue in the powershell, I just switched to git bash and ran the npm i then everything worked fine.

If the above comment will not help try to open the powershell, or whatever you are using for terminal in administrator mode. In my case it helped.
