@pgmtags I think you should elaborate on what your problem is and how it is related to GitHub Desktop for Linux (Looks like you are just using Git), but I guess you should not prepend sudo. It should make the problem much more complex.
I also recommend removing the existing local Git repositories and cloning again to avoid permission-related problems.
