Error: Command failed when running build

When explicitly running npm run build or, when it is run as a pre-commit hook, I get the following error in Terminal:

> MDN-Fiori@0.1.0 build /Users/espressive/repos/mdn-fiori
> node lib/build.js

Building...

@schalkneethling That looks like you don't have the code in a git repository. If you go to the root directory/folder and run git init you can answer some basic questions to set-up git on your local computer. Do that and then run the command again.

@paulmsmith Thanks, but it is definitely a git repository:
