"fatal: unsafe repository" building X230T patch, what to do? #215

I don't know how to use Linux further than sudo apt-get, I've been following the README file up until the sudo make patched, then it goes

git submodule update --init --remote
fatal: unsafe repository ('/home/kubuntu/thinkpad-ec' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:

        git config --global --add safe.directory /home/kubuntu/thinkpad-ec
make: *** [Makefile:296: mec-tools/Makefile] Error 128

What do I do? Why is this happening?

I have since figured out the issue. I was running sudo make patched.x230t.img, I should've not put sudo in. Not using it fixed the issue.
