I have problem when I want to commit changes to my tabular model. I got the following error: Git failed with a fatal error. error: open("Application/Source/'texthere'/'texthere'.jfm"): Permission denied fatal: Unable to process path Application/Source/'texthere'/'texthere.jfm

I've opened .gitignore file and there is *.jfm extension included.

I was trying to find something online but without success.

Have a look here for details on this behaviour: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39456723/9776462

To make sure jfm-files are not handeled by git anymore, do the following:

  • Add "*.jfm" to .gitignore
  • make sure, git does not already track the jfm-file. If it already tracks, remove it with git rm <jfm-file> (you probably have to close Visual Studio for git rm to work)
  • remove the file from any remote branches/repos and resync

*.jfm file is used when the project is opened. So, unload the project to commit the file. But, it would be better to remove the *.jfm files from repository as n00ne explained.

  • same problem was with database project in VS2019 (cannot open *.dbmdl file, permission denied) - thank you for solution! – Kuleris Aug 27 '21 at 11:40

Create a bare clone of the repository:

git clone --bare https://github.com/exampleuser/old-repository.git

Mirror-push to the new repository:

git push --mirror https://github.com/exampleuser/new-repository.git

  • Add *.jfm line into the local .gitignore.
  • Close the solution
  • Delete the .jfm file from the database project.
  • Reopen Solution and commit.
