I downloaded loopbackjs on my windows using the npm command. But while creating an app there is an error showing constantly.

throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Downgrading node from version v17.2.0 to v16.13.1 helped me fix the issue.

This is an issue that we are actively tracking: gitignore error while creating loopbackjs app

A workaround is to downgrade to an LTS release of Node.js (At this time of writing, v14 and v16).

As a best practice, we recommend sticking to LTS releases of Node.js to ensure stability as there have been breaking changes that occurred within Current releases, and to provide the maintainers time to investigate.

Problem was with node version. I had downloaded most recent Node 17 which had backward compatibility issue.SO i downloaded LTS version of Nodejs. It's working fine now.

Seems like the .gitignore file inside the C:\Users\Rohit Pandey\rohit-pandey\ does not exist. Create it and the problem should be gone.
