The “Theme Development with Sage” also outlines:
You’ll want to confirm Yes when asked about removing the existing git history. Afterwards, you’ll be prompted to update
values for the theme headers in style.css:
- Theme name
- Theme URI
- Theme description
- Theme version
- Theme author and URI
None of that happened. The theme installed, but no dependencies were included, and style.css was default. What am I doing wrong?

Oh I see! However, seems like that solution is mac specific?
The specific solution in that thread is specific to installing PHP on a Mac, yes, but the solution to your problem is probably to update your PHP installation. How you do that is going to depend on your environment and how PHP is installed.
