I have made changes to my file and now would like to push those commits. I tried using git commit and it is giving me Error

$ git commit
npm ERR! could not determine executable to run

What I've Tried

1. I have tried deleting node modules and installing them again but that didnt solve the problem.
2. Working on other repositories

Node version - 16.14.0
npm version - 8.5.0

I tried searching everywhere but was unable to find any workable solution. I am not sure what is causing this error
