Git Permission denied for longer pathnames

Question

Git Permission denied for longer pathnames

Asked 8 years, 3 months ago

I have to do the clone of the project in the directory:

C:\xampp_5.3\htdocs\Meu-projeto

First running configuration to allow pathnames more extensive:

git config --system core.longpaths true

Executing the above command returns this error:

error: could not lock config file C: Program Files Git mingw64/etc/gitconfig: Permission denied

How to solve this?

Willian, doesn’t this happen because the path is being passed half against bar and half with bar? Try to normalize your path

I believe that the reason for the error is the bars on your path, as they are half bars and half bars against bars the error happens. Try to normalize the bars so that they are all the same.
