Possible Reasons for the Error

Permission Denied: The error message indicates that you do not have the necessary permissions to create a directory in the specified location.

Directory Ownership: The /media/enri directory may not be writable by your user account.

Check Permissions of the Directory:

• Run the following command to check the permissions:

  ls -ld /media/enri

Change Directory Permissions:

• If you have administrative access, you can change the permissions of the directory:

  sudo chmod 755 /media/enri

Clone to a Different Directory:

• If changing permissions is not an option, consider cloning the repository to a directory where you have write access, such as your home directory:

  cd ~
git clone https://github.com/akitxu/Python-Trading-Gestion-Conservadora.git

Use sudo to Clone

• As a last resort, you can try to clone the repository using sudo, but be cautious as this can lead to permission issues later:

  sudo git clone https://github.com/akitxu/Python-Trading-Gestion-Conservadora.git /media/enri

If you still encounter issues, consider checking your Git configuration
