Description

On the user side, nothing changed. Neither the permissions nor any updates. One day everything was ok and the next morning it was errors, unfortunately. Of course, only one person has access to the repository and the repository itself is as private. Perhaps there is some error on official server.

> git push origin main:main
remote: error: cannot update the ref 'refs/heads/main': unable to append to './logs/refs/heads/main': Permission denied        

 ! [remote rejected] main -> main (failed to update ref)
error: failed to push some refs to 'gitea.com:repo/repo.git'

 unable to append to './logs/refs/heads/main': Permission denied

The filesystem permission (chown/chmod) is not right in your git repositories on the server.

It official gitea server.

Which repo reproduces the error? gitea.com:repo/repo.git ? It seems that https://gitea.com/repo/repo doesn't exist.

@wxiaoguang I didn't know what to mark in the case of the gitea demo because issue is related to a private hidden repository on official gitea. The name of the repository was changed because the entire repository is only for private access anyway.

Then maybe you need to describe the problem clearly and tell the site admin of "gitea.com" that you need help with your private repo.

Maybe this is the solution. The question is how to contact them because I didn't see a place for such contact through their website.
