you don't have permission to write in the folder you're in
it looks like you're trying to write to the root folder, which is probably not what you want?
actually im trying to clone repository from github
it's a message from your OS talking about the local file system you're trying to write to
I think modern windows no longer allows unelevated accounts to create folders in the root folder on the system drive, and I'm not entirely sure
/ is a real folder in git bash
you'll want to navigate somewhere sensible and try again thereok got it
first i had to navigate where to add it (C: , D: etcc) and then use git clone
exactly yeah
thanks man
I'd not recommend putting all your projects straight under C, but if that's what works for you that's fine too
no
i actuallly dont want to put my projcets straight under C:
but idk how to navigate them on Desktop
cuz i have folder where i have mostly all the projects there but idk how to navigate there
cd /c/Users/SAMI/Desktop should put you there
the bit after MINGW64 is your current path, and that's where your desktop lives
you can also just cut and paste the folder git created in C: using windows explorer if that's easieri dont think so
well it does
š¤£
it'll say ~/Desktop, but ~ is short for "home" in linux/bash and that's /c/Users/SAMI in your case
well ye it is is more easier
and faster
thank you a lot man
happy to help!
have a nice day,week,month,year,life ā¤ļø
you too š
