Please help me. I do not know what to do just to add a file. My repository folder has some files that do not have permission. How do I change these permissions or should I change my repository folder> I'm currently working under windows.
Seems like you are trying to perform git operations inside your user directory.
C:\Users\{user-name}
Please make sure your git bash or cmd points to correct folder.
I had the same issue and by navigating to correct folder it worked fine for me
As a suggestion use cd foldername then again cd foldername to navigate
