I am getting error when I am trying to configure email for the bitbucket cloud

[Suhas Kurse]

Hello,

We just got introduced to the bitbucket cloud. I am using VS code to make changes to my code. I am not able to synch my changes because the email has not been setup.

I am using the cmd git config --global user.email "me@test.org"

I get the following error message.

error: could not lock config file S://.gitconfig: Permission denied

Appreciate your help in resolving the issue

Sincerely

Suhas

Hi @Suhas Kurse 

This sounds like a permissions error to me. If you're using Windows can you please ensure that you run VSCode as an administrator?

If this still does not resolve the problem - try ensuring that the git directory is present first in your home directory before attempting to modify the config:

• mkdir ~/.git

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
