Troubleshooting the Permission Denied Error in Git

When you're eager to share your web app with the world via GitHub, encountering a roadblock, such as a Permission denied error, can be incredibly frustrating. This error often prevents you from successfully pushing your project to your repository through the command line. In this guide, we’ll dissect the problem and provide you with a step-by-step solution to get you back on track.

The Problem

You are trying to initialize a Git repository and push your web app, but you run into two major issues:

Permission Denied Error:

This message indicates that your current user account lacks the necessary permissions to write in the designated directory.

User Identity Not Configured:

Git wants you to confirm your identity so that it can attribute commits correctly, but it cannot auto-detect your email address.

Understanding the Solutions

Let's break down these problems and tackle them one by one.

1. Fixing the Permission Denied Error

The first hurdle is the Permission Denied error. This is usually due to insufficient permissions for the .git directory or the folder you're trying to access. Here's how to resolve it:

Run as Administrator:

To gain elevated privileges, try running your command line interface (CLI) as an administrator. Right-click the command prompt or terminal icon and select 'Run as administrator'. This can often bypass permission issues.

Adjust Folder Permissions:

Navigate to the folder containing your web app (e.g., C:\Windows).

Right-click on the folder, select 'Properties', and go to the 'Security' tab.

Ensure that your user account has 'Full control' permissions. If not, click 'Edit' and provide the necessary permissions to your account.

2. Setting Your Git User Identity

The second issue is configuring your Git user information. Git needs to know who is making changes to the repository to attribute commits correctly. Here's how to set it up:

Configure Git User Details: Open your command line and run the following commands, replacing the placeholders with your actual information:

The --global flag sets these details for all your repositories. If you want to set it only for the current repository, omit --global.

Final Steps: Pushing Your Web App

After resolving the above issues, you should now be able to push your web app to GitHub without any errors. Here’s a quick recap of the steps to push your project:

Initialize your Git repository (if not already done):
