    Something is very sick in your git installation. You should probably remove it and reinstall it from whatever source you originally obtained it from, along with any dependencies.

    git init is not just core, it is one of the most fundamental parts of the core of git. Having it not found is … bad, and there is no reasonable or correct cause for this.
