/Users/me/.config/git/ignore': Permission denied
'/Users/me/.config/git/attributes': Permission denied

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Here's how I solved it:

1. In Terminal cd to the User director with cd ~.

2. Change the directory permissions with sudo chmod 755 .config

3. Enter your login password.

Answer 2

use this command to solve this problem ( commit to git ):

sudo chown -R hamid /Users/hamid

after that enter your Mac login password and allow that's dialogs appear

take attention that hamid is my username and you should enter your username instead of that . You can use the below command to get your username:

id -un
