@KiaraCzeto thanks for using the docs and taking the time to submit questions and feedback!

It's possible that you don't have Git installed. If you check "Prerequisites" in the article, it lists that you need to install Git for windows. When you do that, it'll install a git bash client (that you can use to run commands such as cloning the sample repo). Also, in most cases on a Win 10/11 machine, it'll upgrade your existing terminals (such as Win CMD, and Powershell) so that you can run the same git commands within those.

So, I'd make sure first that you have git for Windows installed, then try to run the clone command either from the git bash client terminal, or from Win CMD or PS terminal.
