You need to install git in your machine to have it working.

undefined ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/eligrey/FileSaver.js.git

it should have been

git ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/eligrey/FileSaver.js.git

There is error related to git path. check this ls-remote command

Solution 2

In my case, I had Git installed, but it was only accessible from Git Bash (I had selected the first option below when installing). I reinstalled with the second option and it solved the issue:

  Do you have git installed ? The error is from undefined ls-remote which should be git ls-remote

  Also make sure "run command prompt as administrator". This worked for me.

Same here. And don't forget to reboot, otherwise the git command won't be available in the cmd.
