Answer 1

you can using this

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.git"

Answer 2

OK - turns out it was a permissions problem on GitHub that happened during the fork of emi/bixo to bixo/bixo. Once Tekkub fixed these, it started working again.

Answer 3

Have you try sudo git push -u origin --all? Sometimes it's the only thing you need to avoid this problem. It asks you for the admin system password - the one you can make login to your machine -, and that's what you need to push - or commit, if it is the case.
