Sample App Cloning Issue

[bfalah]

Hi, I tried to clone the sample app by running the following command as indicated in the lecture of unit 3 git clone https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/get-started-node But I got the following error message: fatal: could not create work tree dir 'get-started-node': Permission denied

Any help is much appreciated

I believe the problem is that your current directory that you are trying to clone the app into does not have write/create permissions.

The solution is either creating a different directory where you have ownership (write permissions), or give rights to your current directory.

Kindly refer to this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16376035/fatal-could-not-create-work-tree-dir-kivy

I hope this helps.
