Git Error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects

• English
• 日本語

A user guest:devgroup could not push to a git repository specified by user:devgroup /var/git/foo.git. A git client of guestdev got below error.

$ git push (original master)
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects

fatal: failed to write object
error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit
To ssh://guestdev@foo.com/var/git/foo.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error))
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://guestdev@foo.com/var/git/foo.git'

Fixed the git daemon's settings with below commands. They made the daemon to use the group file permissions when writing to foo.git/objects.

cd /var/git/foo.git
sudo chmod -R g+ws *
sudo chgrp -R devgroup *
git repo-config core.sharedRepository true
