Bad: git cloning problems


After cloning when i try to install it shows the following warnings and is unable to install. I clonned this very repo once before and it cloned successfully. But after that i had uninstalled git and deleted all the cloned contents. Now when I try to clone again I face several errs and warnings.

  C:\Users\91830>git clone https://github.com/example/example.git

Solution

  • It looks like the issue stems not from git clone (that was successful) but that you attempted npm install one directory above. git clone by default creates a folder. There should be a folder called Online-shopping-platform.

    Try:

    cd Online-shopping-platform
    npm install
    

    Note that this is explicitly stated in the repo:

    To get the code on your machine: Firstly, clone the repo on your machine. After cloning, using command line, move to that repo and run the following commands:

    npm install

    npm start
