If you’re a Ubuntu user and see a clear read only status issue, it has something to do with chown and chmod of Linux authority control command.

Enter following command and your only readable issue will be resolved.

sudo chown -R yourusername your-project-folder

The chmod and **chown** commands are used to control access to files in UNIX and Linux systems.

To simply put:

  • chown defines who owns the file.
  • chmod defines who can do what.

The chmod command allows changing permissions of files and folders.

The chown command allows changing the owner of a given file or folder, which can be a user and a group or all.
