[achekulaev]

could not create work tree dir 'testing': Permission denied

Could it be that the culprit is that permission is denied? :) Not sure why this issue was opened.

[DonRichards]

@achekulaev because there was no issues (from what I can see) with my local permissions. I was able to replicate this error on a 2nd machine and thought this "permissions issue" was something within this utility and not a local permissions issue.

[DonRichards]

This could also be a hint that your instructions/README is incomplete.

[lmakarov]

@DonRichards it looks like if your user did not have write access on the /Users/admin/Github/ directory, thus git clone fails with an error.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36728469/git-clone-fatal-cannot-create-work-tree-dir-permission-denied/54573491

Try this:

cd /Users/admin/Github/
git clone https://github.com/docksal/boilerplate-drupal8-composer --depth=1 -b master drupal8-test1

[DonRichards]

@lmakarov OK, started from scratch. Cloned it down as you suggested without error, cd into drupal8-test1, and then ran $ fin project create. I tried it within this directory because I just created it with the git command and should be the same user/permissions as the previous commands. But I've done this within an empty directory as well.

As for the working directory I also have complete write access to it.

And when I run $ fin project create and this is the results.

I really don't think this is an issue with my development workflow or local permissions.

[DonRichards]

I created a test directory and set the permissions to 777 along with /var/www/ and then ran the command with the same results.

Project Folder is /Users/admin/Github/test but it's cloning to /var/www ? Does that look right?

[devopsean]

I changed the directory and it worked!

[Hacker960]

just give it root permission that is type sudo before it .

[marcelo-marcal]

Preciso de ajuda!

[vanelo]

You need to give permissions to the folder where you are doing git clone.

• You can create a new directory: mkdir projects
• Give all access: sudo chmod 777 projects
• Change directory: cd projects
• Clone repository: git clone https://github............

[Ajay-Majhi]

well I'll try

[ReArturo]

Please help me to solve this issue. I downloaded VS Code extension for Github Pull Request. What should I do?
