On the computer I work, there was another user. However I have to create a new ssh key and a new user.

But when I execute the commands:

$ git config --global user.name "alex Jose silva"

I get the message:

error: could not lock config file C:/Program Files (x86) /GNU/SSH/. gitconfig: Permission denied

I chose to delete the SSH folder from the computer because error persists

error: could not lock config file C:/Program Files (x86) /GNU/SSH/. gitconfig: No such file or directory

git ssh

  • Tried to run with the terminal in administrator mode? The second error is because you deleted the files.

  • Yes...I get this message: Could not create directory '/c/Program Files (x86)/GNU/SSH/. ssh': No such file or directory

  • As I said earlier, this mistake is because you deleted the files. Restore the files and try the terminal/prompt in administrator mode. Or change the file directly.

  • No way to restore files...

  • I did a new git installation at zero

  • Already tried to reinstall the software for it to restore the files?

  • Yes. But without success

  • I have now chosen to generate the SSH key

  • and create new user

  • and when I run the command: $ git config --global user.name "alex.jose.silva"

  • I get this message: error: could not lock config file C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU/SSH/. gitconfig: No such file or directory

I could not fix the folder permission. I then chose to reinstall everything again:

Soon after everything started working again: Generate the key . ssh (it is necessary to create an SSH folder within GNU)and clone the repositories
