Nx create-nx-workspace is completely broken on MacOS arm64 Sonoma 14.1

[helgardferreira]

Current Behavior

Currently if I run npx create-nx-workspace with or without a preset, whether the setup is package-based or integrated, etc. The CLI hangs indefinitely on Creating your workspace.

Expected Behavior

The expected behaviour is for the create-nx-workspace to work on any mainstream operating system.

If I downgrade to v15.9.2 then I am able to create a nx workspace. The @latest, @previous, and @canary versions are all not functioning.

Update: after successfully running npx create-nx-workspace@15.9.2 I noticed the CLI mentioned the following:
Directory is already under version control. Skipping initialization of git.

Context: I have git setup for neovim and tmux that rests at ~/ that ignores (via .gitignore) everything except for my neovim and tmux configuration.

After some experimenting I was able to get npx create-nx-workspace@latest to work if I create a folder (in my intended directory) and first git init before running nps create-nx-workspace@latest.

My theory is there is something wrong with the CLI's logic when certain commands are executed within a directory that is nested within a git repo with certain .gitignore rules.
