Some Windows users have reported being unable to create nasher.cfg using the init command. This has been reported with both the native binary and docker versions. Sample output courtesy of Bookworm via Discord:

I think that might be a UAC conflict caused by a write access issue to the C:/Users folder. When I moved my /Documents folder to my D:/ drive the issue went away and it made the config file.

b0b6807 should provide more useful error messages if that happens in the future.

It looks like in this particular instance it was actually caused by the user not having git installed. I've added git to the list of prereqs. The new error messages should help the user identify this being the cause of the error.
