Any additional information? Yeoman version? What OS?... I've experienced the Git status 128 error before. This thread may help.

Is it only this generator that's failing for you? If you use another generator (perhaps the default) and then install a package via yeoman install package-name do you still get the same error?

One thing that this generator is doing differently from other ones is installing packages from source using the yeoman command internally after generating the initial scaffold.

Hi Vincent, thanks for the link to the thread. After I deleted rm -rf .bower as it said in the home directory and some other steps, cannot remember exactly what as it was more a trial and error approach. Good! now I can play around with Foundation.

Mac OSX yeoman --version 0.9.6 npm --version 1.2.11 brew --version 0.9.4 git --version git version 1.7.7.5 (Apple Git-26)

Glad you got it working for you. Now that yeoman is now being split up into its separate components (yo, grunt, and bower) and not obfuscating them under a single yeoman command, I will need to update this generator to account for that. Hopefully using bower directly will eliminate the 128 error moving forward.
