The command "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" exited with code 128

I get this error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB3073 The command "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" exited with code 128. dotnet-new3 C:\Users<user>.nuget\packages\sourcelink.create.commandline\2.8.0\build\SourceLink.Create.CommandLine.targets 21

What command are you running when this error occurs?

setup.cmd

@DragonMastery from a quick look around the internet, it sounds like git exiting with code 128 usually has to do with username and email not being set correctly in git config - could you confirm that they're set?

Closing this as we haven't heard back, feel free to re-open if needed
