Hi @sriramr ,

Please read the error message. It’s looking under the /opt/ directory, not /home/user/.

Hi @sammyjel ,

You need to perform this task on the storage server, but you’re trying it on the jump_host server.

i did logged in to storage server of nautilas with user natasha.
i did installed git package
Created a bare repository named /opt/official.git
By following these steps sudo mkdir -p /opt/official.git
cd /opt/official.git
sudo git init --bare
also performed below steps gave proper permission but still getting same error
git clone natasha@ststor01:/opt/official.git ~/official
sudo chown -R thor:thor /opt/official.git
could you please guide me?

@MJislearning first, let’s make sure I know what lab you’re doing, since there are a number of similar tasks, and it matters whether the directories are originally assigned to natasha, or to root. I can say that chowning to thor is certainly wrong if you’re on the storage server though.

@rob_kodekloud firstly thanks for your response. and just you asked it’s day 1 lab of git level 1

Set Up Git Repository on Storage Server

That lab needs to be done as the root user. Use sudo -i to get root access.
