create-nx-workspace: Check and prompt for git config when not yet configured

[spotlesscoder]

• [] I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Description

I want create-nx-workspace to check for valid git config (user.name, user.email) so that the git init does not fail like it did on my freshly installed linux

 ~/nx-e2e-include  npx create-nx-workspace         ✔  13:38:19 

 >  NX   Let's create a new workspace [https://nx.dev/getting-started/intro]

✔ Choose what to create                 · integrated
✔ What to create in the new workspace   · next
✔ Repository name                       · nx-e2e-include
✔ Application name                      · web
✔ Default stylesheet format             · css
✔ Enable distributed caching to make your CI faster · No

 >  NX   Nx is creating your v15.7.2 workspace.

   To make sure the command works reliably in all environments, and that the preset is applied correctly,
   Nx will run "npm install" several times. Please wait.

✔ Installing dependencies with npm
✔ Nx has successfully created the workspace: nx-e2e-include.
Author identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'user@hostname.(none)')

 >  NX   Could not initialize git repository

   undefined
