git init creates directory in wrong location?-CodePudding

paladin1@locutus:~> ls -ld .password-store/
drwxrwxrwx 3 paladin1 users 4096 Dec  8 00:14 .password-store/
paladin1@locutus:~> cd .password-store/
paladin1@locutus:~/.password-store> env | grep GIT
paladin1@locutus:~/.password-store> git init
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name

hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint: 
hint:   git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint: 
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/paladin1/.git/
paladin1@locutus:~/.password-store> pass git init
fatal: cannot change to '/home/paladin1/.password-store': Permission denied

(I don't usually have 777 permissions on this directory; this is for troubleshooting.)

Why is git creating its repository in the parent directory and not where I told it to?

CodePudding user response：

As @torek asked a question in comments above,

git was running in firejail and didn't have directory access.
