Git Bug Report: 'scalar register' command failed at Mac m1

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
1. First I run 'scalar register' to register current git repo'.
2. Because previous command report 'Permission denied', so I run 'sudo scalar register'.

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) Scalar successfully registered

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) Command report: fatal: failed to bootstrap service /Users/albert/Library/LaunchAgents/org.git-scm.git.hourly.plist error: could not turn on maintenance

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Command failed

Anything else you want to add: I am using mac m1 and macOS 13.0

I suspect that you get the same problem with "git maintenance start" which is the underlying command that "scalar register" is running at this point of failure.

The "~/Library/LaunchAgents/" should be owned by your user, allowing this to work without needing to "sudo". However, if your permissions on that directory have changed, then the "sudo" will be necessary. Could you double-check your permissions by running "ls -al ~/Library"?

Thanks, -Stolee

Thanks a lot, Derrick!

"ls -al ~/Library" showed that "~/Library/LaunchAgents/" was owned by root user. Then I changed the owner of the "~/Library/LaunchAgents/" to my user. After that, "scalar register" successfully worked.

Thanks, -Albert
