Git Bash Permission Denied

Question

Hi,

whenever I try to complete step 3 on lab 4 I get a "fatal: could not create work tree dir 'lab-4-restaurant-conflict-test-paigeh0ffman': Permission denied" when I try to
$ git clone with the address of my repository. I have asked a few other people and no one can figure out the issue/has had the same one! Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you type pwd, what folder (a.k.a. directory) does it show you are working in?

Answer 1

Since the main cause is due to a lack of permissions, it might have something to do with the specific directory. I would suggest trying to go to a different directory, checking to see if you have permissions in said directory, and then trying to clone it.
