fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at

[siamesetween]

Hello, I have several folders that I cannot push to live anymore. I use github online and IAP to do sudo git pull

fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at

I have tried running git config --global --add safe.directory on IAP but nothing happens. Hope you guys could help. Thanks.

Hello!!!!

The error message you are seeing typically indicates an issue with the ownership or permissions of the repository. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

• Check the ownership and permissions of the repository on the server. Ensure that the user trying to access the repository has the appropriate permissions to do so.

• Try running the "chown" command to change the ownership of the repository to the user who is trying to access it. For example, you can run the command

  sudo chown -R username:groupname /path/to/repository

  to change the ownership of the repository.

• If you are still having issues, you can try running the "chmod" command to change the permissions of the repository. For example, you can run the command

  sudo chmod -R XXX /path/to/repository

  to give users access to the repository (XXX are the corresponding number permissions). But, do it with care cause it can be dangerous to allow any permission

If none of the above steps works, you may need to contact the server administrator or GitHub support for further assistance.

I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.

How can I open that file? These directories do not appear when I open them with notes, please answer this, thank you.

Try going to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and search for "Editing fstab".

Is there any other way to open this file without installing Ubuntu?

@tahakinn, if you're not running some kind of Linux your problem isn't that Linux is mounting a Windows partition with overly broad permissions (because Windows filesystems usually lack a similar file ownership concept). You'll need to figure out what the actual problem is to find a solution.

This is the tl;dr I see everywhere I google but what confuses me is I'm getting this on a brand new repo that isn't even connected to anything. IE files on disk, running git init followed but git add . gives this error and it makes no sense to me. I've been using git for decades and this is actually the first time I've ever seen this error.

very confusing. comparing ls -la to whoami shows identical users. My only guess is this has something do with Windows funkyness when dealing with network mapped locations to my NAS? Really no clue. I would have preferred to actually fix the problem but in the end I just used the suggested option of adding the folder as a safe folder and moved on.

I have just met this exception.
The reason in my case was due to having two runs with the same ID.
Note: I load the id from output directory if exists to resume the run.

Hey there @siamesetween, thanks so much for reaching out in our community 👋🏾

Could you please try using a wildcard to add all folders to safe.directory list using the following command:

git config --global --add safe.directory '*'

Hope this help, let me know if additional assistance is needed.
