Guidance: git submodule update --init --recursive (Resource temporarily unavailable)

[phfbfc]

Followed README and build instructions from issue 489.
Got stuck at:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Which yielded:
0 [main] sh 6324 fork: child 1504 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11
/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-sh-setup: fork: retry: resource temporarily unavailable
To fix this, I attempted the following recommendation mentioned here, and modified the input like so:
npm uninstall -g submodule
npm cache clean
npm install -g submodule@latest
Taking this step provided output that looked promising, so I attempted the build, which failed because of the missing wil/Common.h

I'm looking to get past build, and based on other issues, it sounds like the git submodule update --init --recursive is my roadblock. Any help would be appreciated - thanks for your consideration.

This sounds like a git issue. Is it unique to the Terminal repo, or can you not init submodules for any git repo?

I'd look in #489, and follow up in the issue tracker for wherever you got git from.

Also, would you mind trying actual git for windows? It looks like this is mingw64's git, and I don't know how npm is getting involved here ...

Try using the github desktop, cloning the repository there and then following the steps.

@DHowett-MSFT: Good call on git for windows - I overlooked that this machine was running a different setup. As for npm, I was looking for solutions based on similar errors. At the time, I thought it was a git built-in.

Uninstalling/Reinstalling git solved this issue.

Thanks for testing.
