UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Can you describe how to give privileges to the user in normal use of your folder / home / user
To be able to properly use Git and other applications of Python

I've done something like chown-R myuser / home / myuser
But there were some problems with Git commits....
like link unavailabe and permission denied


thanks....

Code:

man chmod

You need check if you (normal user) has the read permission on the these files.

I'm a bit concerned about the accuracy of your typing and the presence of space characters in the directory name "/home/myuser". If you type this command (with "chown -R" typed accurately with a space character) while logged in as "root" this would be a catastrophe because it would try to change the ownership from the root directory "/" down, then a directory called "home", then root "/" again , then a directory called "myuser". In my experience the system becomes a write-off before the command finishes.

Personally I would never issue a "chown -R" command ever.

thank you guys for your answers
