Yeah basically everything looks right on your main one. The problem is in git. Project create clones repo using fin run-cli git.... It fails for you regardless of the repo and even with --clean option that should ignore ay leftovers on the home volume, meaning that it’s not the run-cli or specific repo to blame.

And I do not see a single reason why it would fail like that, given that permissions are fine and fin run-cli can write files just fine in that dir.

The error itself is also more usual on windows, which can fail to set filemode. But run-cli is actually a Linux container and git runs inside it, so it should not fail to set filemode.

I am out of guesses at the moment and don’t know what to check for the root cause next. As a last guess I would run

fin run-cli --cleanup git clone -b master https://github.com/docksal/docksal.git "hello" --depth=1
fin run-cli --clean git clone -b master https://github.com/docksal/docksal.git --depth=1

But they will probably fail in the same way.

I would recommend you run fin run-cli --clean bash -i on your main one to run interactive bash session, and play with cloning different repos there and try to pinpoint where the issues with git come from.
