Cloning a Craft CMS project to XAMPP - php

Question

I am fairly new to git and I am looking to clone a repo to XAMPP.
From what I understand I should be able to just clone it to HTDOCS and it should work if all the dependencies are installed.
I get this error message when I visit the project folder in my browser.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function init() on null
in C:\xampp\htdocs\sandbox\craft\app\services\CacheService.php:114

I know this a vague question but I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you

I think once you will clone the craft project from your git repo. You need to add .Env file into it. Then your need "uploads" folder. Also you should run the composer install command to install all the dependencies.
After all this process if you still getting the same error then you should try to remove cache from your runtime cache folder and also you can remove compiled classes and templates once.
I hope this will work.
