Error trying to connect Git to terminal

Hi,

When I try to run this on terminal

xcrun git config --global user.name 'TosyPitarz'

it gives me an error stating

error: could not write config file /Users/admin/.gitconfig: Permission denied

Does anyone know a walkthrough to this? Thanks

Hello, Tosin.

Even though I can't provide a quick fix, I'd recommend a google search or watching the complete GitHub course, which is available at Treehouse.

Thanks Gabriel! :) I found the solution a month ago by using sudo.
