I have to stash files which are in my LINUX WSL folder. But when i try to run git stash i recieve this error:

error: open("cloudformation/deployStacks.sh"): Permission denied
fatal: Unable to process path cloudformation/deployStacks.sh
Cannot save the current worktree state

I tried to run chmod u=rwx,g=r,o=r cloudformation ,

chmod u=rwx,g=r,o=r cloudformation/deployStacks.sh

chmod 777 cloudformation

But none of this worked. Maybe anyone knows how to solve this permission issue?

    Well, if you have sudo privileges you can use it to change file permission in the first place. Using git with sudo is a horrible idea. – Asocia Apr 29 '22 at 16:32
  • @Asocia Why it's horrible idea ? – Karina Shulan May 02 '22 at 08:25
  • Because you will write/modify some files as root and you won't be able to use git without sudo again. – Asocia May 02 '22 at 12:02
  • This is **very** bad, as you're giving git sudo permissions, which means it could modify ANY files on your disk. You were on the right lines with `chmod`. See also [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34917354/979052) – Alicia Sykes May 02 '22 at 12:03
