Trouble setting with git

I'm getting this error when trying to set the git init:

$ git init error: could not lock config file C:/Users/khaled/Desktop/firstTemplete/.git/config: No such file or directory fatal: could not set 'core.repositoryformatversion' to '0'

anyone have any idea ?

Solution

    3. Click and open "Virus and Threat protection"
    4. Click and open "Virus and threat Protection Setting"
    5. Click and open "Manage Controlled folder access" in "Controlled folder access"option
    6. Turn the "Controlled Folder access" OFF

    Run "Git init" from cmd. DONE!
