Locally

Installing git will solve the issue.

• for mac brew install git
• for ubuntu sudo apt-get install git
• for arch linux pacman -S git
• for windows install git according to the instructions from the git installation page.

In Docker

If you are getting while running in building docker image then you should install git there. [I got this issue while building docker image]

For Example: In my Dockerfile

FROM golang:alpine 
RUN apk add git
