I ran 'yarn kbn bootstrap' while looking at the kibana developer guide, and the error follows.

```auto
UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Error: spawn git ENOENT

error Command failed with exit code 1.

```

The path to "git" is also set. Please tell me the cause of the error and the solution.

Hi @dms6978

Which OS are you using?

I see a [similar issue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/error-while-running-yarn-kbn-bootstrap/186572) has been raised previously. As per that thread, can you try running `npm install` first?

I'm using MacOS Apple silicon Ventura.  
The following error occurs when running with the command `npm install`.

```auto
npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "link:": link:x-pack/test/alerting_api_integration/common/plugins/aad

```

Last night `yarn kbn bootstrap` worked, but it's not working today 🥲

Appreciate the update. Are you getting a particular error running `yarn kbn bootstrap` today?

I would be tempted to try clearing the cache by running `yarn cache clean`, pull the latest version and then run the bootstrap and start commands again.

I don't know what caused it to run, but I reconnected the repository using 'github DeskTop', and I updated it through the `yarn` command before running `yarn kbn bootstrap` and it worked!
