"permission denied" while removing git directory
Try to delete the folder after closing any of the IDEs you are using (Eg: Aptana Studio). When you have this project opened in an IDE, it won't allow you to delete the git heads.
I faced with similar problem. It turns out that git makes certain files (objects) read only. So you need to remove read-only flag recursively and then remove folder:
chmod -R a+w .git
rm -rf .git
Windows 7 - Git-bash
$ sudo
sh.exe": sudo: command not found
git-bash in windows does not have sudo command.
Most probably, you used some git commands in command shell with elevated privileges. In windows 7 , your normal user and your user with elevated privileges have different powers. Try to do one of the following
- Try remove that directory in windows explorer
- Start git bash as administrator and run your rm command.
- Try to change its permissions so that your normal user has full control of that directory.
In PowerShell
rmdir <foldername> -force
