then i tried

sudo chown -R root /var/www

```

but same error exist.Any help would be appreciated

Answer: 
The `git clone` is done with your current (local Linux) account, not `root`.  

So a `sudo chown -R root` would not change anything.

Check the rights associated with your current path, and make sure you (your current account) has the right to write in it.
You just insert the sudo command to run

```
sudo git clone https://github.com/modestkdr/scrumwala.git

```

if there's any problem, don't hesitate to notify me by way of a comment.
