git error vague on 'foundation new'

[pbonnell]

git is fully configured and functional on the system, but foundation new (any project) fails with:

Downloading the project template...There was an issue running git clone to download the.... Make sure your computer's Git is configured properly and then try again.

looks like it's the result of this clone command

Error should be more specific about the nature of the failure. Does git need a symlink?

osx 10.11.6

There was an issue running git clone to download the framework Foundation for apps and template unspecified.

running cmd outside of cli is fine:

Hello @pbonnell

Are you using commit df9bad2?

I just tried the following commands without error (in my test environment):

foundation new -f apps

Are you still getting this error? What about with the latest committ (v2.2.1)? -- ec8f72b

ty @paxperscientiam, I'm up and running after a re-install of npm (4.5.0), then fresh install of foundation-cli (now 2.2.1). I've chalked this to system config confusion, though a more meaningful error from foundation install would have been ideal.

I originally installed via npm install foundation-cli foundation v.2.2.0 for the failing install is all the info I have.

Regardless, the original problem seems local config specific.
