Npm install error " pathspec '4.0' "

[DeiCha]

runing npm install returns error:

Unhandled rejection Error: Command failed: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.EXE checkout 4.0
error: pathspec '4.0' 

fix that worked for me:
update package.json line 42
from "gulp": "gulpjs/gulp#4.0", to "gulp": "4.0",

It may be related to gulp (gulpjs/gulp#2078)

Worked for me as well.

I had this issue as well, Changing package.json from "gulp": "github:gulpjs/gulp#4.0" to "gulp": "4.0" AND deleting my package-lock.json solved the issue.

The issue is the branch was deleted, for backwards compatibility can we keep the git branch active and maybe add a warning on postinstall?

I can help implement this if needed.

Funny seeing you having the same issue as me bro lol
what worked for me was updating node js to latest version using homebrew and then changing the gulp version in package.json to 4.0
