Using git command without sudo on CentOS [closed]

Question

I would like to use git without taping sudo everytime i tape a command on CentOS

and i have no idea how to do it. I checked on google and i found this some command with chown but none of them worked

Edited : I don't want to use sudo, i want to use git without taping sudo everytime. For instance, every time i tape git checkout i have an error of permission and i need to tape sudo git checkout and password to do this

Answer 1

Probably you don't have write permissions on the folder you want to checkout to.

What permissions do you have there? Run

ls -la </path/to/gitfolder>

You should get something like:

$ ls -la /path/to/gitfolder
total 8
drwxrwxr-x  2 user group 4096 Sep 14 14:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 user group 4096 Sep 14 14:03 ..

Here at . there should be your user name at user and not root (if you run it on your own computer).

If some files are owned by root, then you could change the ownership of your current folder and files with this command

chown -R <user> .
