Recently I tried to test some plugins in a fresh Windows, I created a dummy blog with hexo init but forgot to install Git beforehand.

The git command failed and copyAsset() is executed instead.

That failed too because "assets/" folder (a submodule that points to hexo-starter) is not published.

I can think of two approaches:

1. Publish "assets/" folder.
2. Remove copyAsset() and check git existence before running L30: if (!commandExistsSync('git')) log.warn('Please install git')
