Wordpress & Git, urgent permissions issues, need help...
Heya,
So I recently upgraded my MacBook to a solid state drive, during the re-install of Snow Leopard I chose to abandon MAMP and use the built in Apache & PHP and in doing so moved my ~/Sites to /Library/WebServer/Documents from a Time Machine backup. During this transition the permissions were changed (I expected that but didn't change them directly).
All of the sudden Wordpress couldn't write to various places such as .htaccess, wp-content/uploads, wp-content/plugins, etc... So I changed the user and group to _www:_www correcting that issue, but then Git couldn't write to it's own directory.

At this point my permissions are spencerhill:staff 755 for folders and 644 for all files. And I'm completely confused as to how to untangle everything so it's set it the appropriate default user, group and symbolic privileges preventing me from doing any work. Please help!

Thank you!

git-credential-store

GIT-CREDENTIAL-STO(1)                                               Git Manual                                               GIT-CREDENTIAL-STO(1)

NAME

       git-credential-store - Helper to store credentials on disk

SYNOPSIS

       git config credential.helper 'store [options]'

DESCRIPTION

           Note
           Using this helper will store your passwords unencrypted on disk, protected only by filesystem permissions. If this is not an acceptable
           security tradeoff, try git-credential-cache(1), or find a helper that integrates with secure storage provided by your operating system.

       This command stores credentials indefinitely on disk for use by future Git programs.

       You probably don't want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to be used as a credential helper by other parts of git. See
       gitcredentials(7) or EXAMPLES below.

OPTIONS

       --file=<path>
           Use <path> to lookup and store credentials. The file will have its filesystem permissions set to prevent other users on the system from
           reading it, but will not be encrypted or otherwise protected. If not specified, credentials will be searched for from
           ~/.git-credentials and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials, and credentials will be written to ~/.git-credentials if it exists, or
           $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials if it exists and the former does not. See also the section called "FILES".

FILES

       If not set explicitly with --file, there are two files where git-credential-store will search for credentials in order of precedence:

       ~/.git-credentials
           User-specific credentials file.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials
           Second user-specific credentials file. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/credentials will be used. Any
           credentials stored in this file will not be used if ~/.git-credentials has a matching credential as well. It is a good idea not to
           create this file if you sometimes use older versions of Git that do not support it.

       For credential lookups, the files are read in the order given above, with the first matching credential found taking precedence over
       credentials found in files further down the list.

       Credential storage will by default write to the first existing file in the list. If none of these files exist, ~/.git-credentials will be
       created and written to.

       When erasing credentials, matching credentials will be erased from all files.

EXAMPLES

       The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type your username or password. For example:

           $ git config credential.helper store
           $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
           Username: <type your username>
           Password: <type your password>

           [several days later]
           $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
           [your credentials are used automatically]

STORAGE FORMAT

       The .git-credentials file is stored in plaintext. Each credential is stored on its own line as a URL like:

           https://user:pass@example.com

       When Git needs authentication for a particular URL context, credential-store will consider that context a pattern to match against each
       entry in the credentials file. If the protocol, hostname, and username (if we already have one) match, then the password is returned to
       Git. See the discussion of configuration in gitcredentials(7) for more information.
