Running npm i after installing this package causes the EISGIT error below:

npm ERR! path /home/jackson/dev/admin/node_modules/sw-precache-cra
npm ERR! code EISGIT
npm ERR! git /home/jackson/dev/admin/node_modules/sw-precache-cra: Appears to be a git repo or submodule.
npm ERR! git     /home/jackson/dev/admin/node_modules/sw-precache-cra
npm ERR! git Refusing to remove it. Update manually,
npm ERR! git or move it out of the way first.

According to the link above, it can be remedied by removing the .git folder from the npm package.

My current work around is to include the preinstall script mentioned in the link above, and adding the script to my Bitbucket pipeline for deployments.
