git: Unable to index file - permission denied

Question

Only for one file, I am getting the following error:

error: unable to write sha1 filename /opt/www/.git/objects/3f/ce3587c54a8be14c69b08c6b01f94949b11b47: Pe         


        

Answer 1

You don't have permission to write in /opt/www/.git/objects/3f.

The quickest solution is to use the sudo command to execute your command with root privileges.

sudo

Solved it for me.
