@FaiyazSayeed try uninstalling Git and reinstalling it. I recall it had an option in the installation process to add it to PATH. — MkMan, Aug 11 '18 at 23:44

Check whether GIT is installed on your system. If not installed then install Git by downloading from below URL and install

Close your command prompt or visual studio code or any editor you are using and reopen it.
Create new angular application and it will work as expected.

Why would GIT be required to create a new app? – Erik Philips Oct 13 '21 at 07:04
