Hey @techUdayMungalpara 👋, so CLI for some reason failed at creating project, but the project should be initialised and ready to use!

@szymonrybczak I got a similar error and the folder is completely empty

hey @Vadim51515, that's strange! you're also able to turn off git initialisation during init command by passing --skip-git-init
