git merge: “error: cannot stat 'file': Permission denied”

Question

I'm using git and I want to merge one of my branch onto the master. I did: git merge myBranch . I get this error:

error: cannot stat 'client/Maintenance/Gamme': Permission denied
error: cannot stat 'client/Maintenance/Gamme': Permission denied
Updating 6d3ccfa..a419e19

I try to abort with git merge --abort and to try again, but I still have the same error.

Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to do it differently?

Answer 1

If you are a Linux user you can modify the Folder permissions using:

sudo chmod 666 your_project_folder 

After That you can use:

git merge 

because this problem related to your folder permission not to git.

I hope that this help you to resolve your issue.
