git branch和git log仅适用于sudo

Question

I'm having an issue where git branch and git log give no output unless I use them with sudo . Here is a screenshot showing the issue.

I'm on linux mint 19 with ecryptfs. I've tried two different terminal emulators and the problem persists. If there's any more information that you think would be helpful, please let me know.

I would say your .git Directory is not readable by the current user. Run a ls -la .git and see what the permissions and owner for the directory . show.

Then you need to decide if you want to give your user permissions or ownership for the .git directory (and probably also the project files themselves)
