Git integration for SAS^® Studio enables you to perform Git actions via the user interface and function calls. If the target location for cloning a remote repository is an Amazon Elastic File System volume, you can encounter the following error:

The cause of this error is a known issue with libgit2, which is the software that performs Git actions. This issue is discussed on the following libgit2 GitHub page:

Unable to clone on AWS-EFS (NFS) failed to truncate pack file Permission denied #5556

After the libgit2 development team fixes this problem, SAS can provide a patch to resolve this issue on SAS Studio.
