We have moved recently to VDI environment, this move causing us issue with GIT. Whenever we try to connect to GIT, it throws error message (see attached image). I have to manually make myself owner of that folder after each login everyday. Visual Studio works fine so why Powerbuilder looking for this folder to be owned by current user. 

 

What's shown in picture I am writing here

We all have 2 profile under c:\users

1. c:\users\myuserid

2. c:\users\local_myuserid

Powerbuilder GIT is looking for ownership on local\myuserid\temp folder which is reset to SYSTEM upon each logoff. SVN used to work fine. Please help.

Hi Amit,

 

PowerBuilder's Git is handled by calling related Git interfaces, so this permission has always been required. 

The design approaches of Visual Studio and PowerBuilder are fundamentally different.

I understand this could be a little inconvenient, but we are unable to make any changes at this time. Thank you for your understanding!

 

Regards, 

Kitty

That's a huge blocker for us. We are mandated to use GIT source control and everything was fine until we moved to VDI. I am surprised that PowerBuilder or GIT wouldn't allow us to change the pointer from temp folder to some other in configurations.

 

It should have been published somewhere as cloud environment is becoming quite common now.

Hi Amit,



Add the following content to the .gitconfig file in the User directory to see if it can solve the permission problem.

[safe]

Directory = *
