Using "sudo git add" command in Ubuntu caused the need for "sudo" prefix for all repository operations. This is because using "sudo" removes permissions for regular user group. Solution found on stackoverflow involves knowing user and group id, then using "chown" command to change ownership of files in .git/objects directory.

When using sudo git add command in Ubuntu, it caused the repository to be inaccessible without the sudo prefix each time. This is because after using sudo, the regular user group loses the permission to operate. I found a solution on stackoverflow.

First, we need to know the id of our user and user group. Enter the following command in the terminal:

id -a

It will display the id of the user and group:

Next, we need to use the chown command:

cd .git/objects
ls -al
sudo chown -R uid:groups *
# Replace uid and groups with your own
