Why doesn't git clone download all files?

Question

mint

The problem is this. git clone doesn't download all the files in the repository. Or, for example, there is a simple editor - sublime text - I create a file there and try to save it, but it is not saved. I suspect that the problem is with file access in Linux. But since I'm an inexperienced Linux user, I don't see the Path. Please help me see him. I would like to be able to safely delete any files. I have already created a non-root user, I do everything under it through sudo, but still nothing helps. Help me please.

Answer 1

so under sudo you do everything just as the root user...
Normally it should be like this.
There is a user besides root.
You work from him, create folders, copy files, even edit.
IF you need to install a program, use sudo. Or if you need to change system files ... well, or restart some process
