git not found when installing

[pakyrs]

Describe the bug

I have git installed and when launching the script it prompt me to install it. I can launch git and it is in my path, it's never been a problem anywhere else to be honest, a bit confused.

Steps to reproduce

zsh -x <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zap-zsh/zap/master/install.zsh) --branch release-v1 
...
+main:43> git clone -b release-v1 https://github.com/zap-zsh/zap.git /home/pacadmin/.local/share/zap
+main:43> echo '❌ Git is a dependency for zap. Please install git and try again.'
❌ Git is a dependency for zap. Please install git and try again.
+main:43> return 2
+/proc/self/fd/11:78> [[ 2 -eq 0 ]]
+/proc/self/fd/11:78> return
...
which zsh
/usr/bin/zsh

Expected behavior

Proceed to cloning and installing zap.

I got the same problem on my macos system.
Installation with sudo worked but not with user.

Problem was: ~/.local wrong ownership for the folder, it was on root

Fix: chown -R $(whoami) ~/.local
I also fixed my .zshrc file and everything works fine.

Now the install.zsh is working and plugin installation also.
