When doing appwrite init function im getting the following:
✗ Error Command failed: git clone --depth 1 --sparse https://github.com/appwrite/functions-starter .
Cloning into '.'...
fatal: cannot change to 'https://github.com/appwrite/functions-starter': No such file or directory
error: failed to initialize sparse-checkout
any ideas why this is happening?
Input:
? What would you like to name your function? Is Already Registered
? What ID would you like to have for your function? unique()
? What runtime would you like to use? Dart (dart-2.17)
What could be the reason?
