Git Unable to Create File Permission Denied

Win 10 + Git - unable to create file - permission denied

The problem with Git error - permission denied in this case has been caused by the incriminated file was open in other process. The solution was to shut down all the apps except one console, then run git checkout -- www/index.php and everything works as excepted without any trouble.

First, the work tree (/var/www/www.example.org above) must be writable by the user who runs the hook (or the user needs sudo access to run git checkout -f, or something similar).

Git stash pop error: unable to create file Permission Denied

I figured it out. Here's the link:

How to recover a dropped stash in Git?

Since my git stash resulted in an error, the reference of the commit was still stored in .git/refs/stash. I then used Dolda2000's answer and created a temp branch using:

git branch tmp <first 7 characters of ref #>

switched to the tmp branch and I was able to find my lost file.

Git won't add files - 'Permission denied'

You made your files and FOLDERS within 'dir1' have the 644 permissions when you ran that command which is the problem here.

Run this to reset the folder 'dir2' to the correct permissions

chmod 755 dir1/dir2

Manual

Unable to create /path/.git/index.lock : Permission denied

rm -f /xxx would not work because '/' would refer to the root folder, usually owned by root.

This could work:

cd /path/to/my/repo
rm -f .git/index.lock

The OP user2537246 confirms in the comments a permission issue:

I gave permission 755 and it worked!

I didn't have to move anything.
