Hello

I'm using git v2.46.2 on windows, and I have a server linux (git 
v2.45.2) where me and other developer push our repositories.

If i push my changes on a repository that is owned by another user the 
server git respond:

fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository...


So I can push changes only in repository owned by myself.

It is possible to share a repository to more that one user? (I remember 
that it was possible untill some years ago)


thanks

Alessio De Marchi

look for the git safe.directory option. That makes it possible to
specify which repositories are shared.
