Ok so I found the issue, it is to do with the new security of git
If you run “git show” in terminal after “Initialise Repository” you will get
fatal: unsafe repository (‘/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/’ is owned by someone else)
you need to run
git config --global --add safe.directory /xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/
Then refresh the browser, that should do it
@tujeff , hope this helps
I’ve found the issue. My file permissions were messed up here, caused all the errors.
Thank you for your time to help me, and your hard work !!
