Describe the Bug

Trying to use CLI ( npm create astro@latest ) but then I keep getting this error code even after installing git, however, my other developer used this CLI prompt fine and they don't have git installed at all. I simply can't use it for whatever reason. Err below:

@Cruebee after you install git you probably need to close and reopen your terminal. Type git to be sure its installed properly.

Going to close as It sounds like you don't have git installed. Happy to reopen if there's a bug here.

I get the same error, but it's not because of Git.

`

It's also strange that I get asked the question about the location twice.

@ScriptRaccoon would you mind opening a new issue for this? This seems like something else.

It's probably related to giget which is powering our template downloads?

Opened #5227 for this.
