    error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects

    That is your problem. For some reason or another, Git is having trouble writing to .git/objects – typically this means it is owned by another user and doesn’t have the proper permissions.

    Try seeing what permissions the folder currently has by running ls -l .git/objects. Then, you can chmod or chown (or both) as necessary.
