Describe the bug When trying to create a new Catalyst site with create-catalyst@0.13.0, I get an error message about GIT not being installed, and the process stops.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run "npm create @bigcommerce/catalyst@0.13.0"
2. answer "Y" to "Need to install the following packages: @bigcommerce/create-catalyst@0.13.0 Ok to proceed? (y) y"

Console `npm create @bigcommerce/catalyst@0.13.0 Need to install the following packages: @bigcommerce/create-catalyst@0.13.0 Ok to proceed? (y) y

◢ @bigcommerce/create-catalyst v0.13.0

Error: git is required to create a Catalyst project

@druellan Thanks for reporting this!

@matthewvolk this might because which is not a command on Windows :( https://github.com/bigcommerce/catalyst/commit/673bea2bef3d7b80267c7f0c8b204b652fd09f34#diff-d6d218ba01140fd6bebf1cf5f8325f993e96717aa24b7d12166fff34cae34e6bR70 Might have to go with your alternate method that you had initially.

Thanks! I'll try patching that locally and see if that solves the issue.

I'm going to reopen this one, I think we should definitely fix it on our end.
