Laravel not creating autoload.php in vendor folder?

Not sure why but when running laravel new inside a directory, it makes the app but doesn't make the autoload.php file?

I've tried running this

composer dump-autoload

After running the above command Laravel seems to throw a 500 error page. I've tried other things like composer update, composer install

Running such a command resulted in this

Now trying to download from source

I don’t see why its requiring git now, it didn’t in the initial install process. Am I doing something wrong? This seems very strange for composer.

I’ve even tried running it like this, no luck:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel
