EACCES: permission denied in VS Code MAC

Question

When I change any file, the system will deny me access. What\'s going on? How do I properly set permissions on Mac?

Answer 1

If you want to fix permissions for the current user use sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.vscode/.

• $(whoami) is a variable with the current user that's logged in
• ~ is a shorthand for the home directory of the current user
