Edit: Looks like if using the bundler plugin you need to use bi or bundle_install instead of bundle install see comments below.

Well, judging by the errors I'd say you don't have permissions to read or write on the git folder.

Try:

# chmod -R o+rw .git

At the root of your project.

i get this from ls -al drwxr-xrwx 15 user.name CENTRO\Domain Users 510 Oct 9 13:33 .git – user2167582 – 2014-10-09T18:33:47.623

Could it be that you are within the group CENTRO\Domain Users and you aren't user.name? You are only missing writing permissions for group. If so you could either regain ownership or assign write permissions to the group. You should try removing the specified folder as well. – MinusFour – 2014-10-09T19:53:33.837

i switched back to bash and this started to work, seems like its only an issue on zsh, is there a similar encounter? – user2167582 – 2014-10-09T19:56:32.157

when i do whoami i get my username though – user2167582 – 2014-10-09T19:56:55.523

1I'm looking at the bundler.plugin.zsh and I'm seeing an alias of bundle_install but not bundle install. Try using that instead of bundle install, or bi (the alias). – MinusFour – 2014-10-09T21:16:31.600

that solved it!!! gosh, does zshell forbid you to use non-aliased commands... – user2167582 – 2014-10-09T21:36:27.357

1Maybe bundle_install is ZSH specific, glad it works. – MinusFour – 2014-10-09T21:57:37.343

1If I get it correct, the solution is to use bundle_install and not the chmod command given in your answer. For future visitors you should edit your answer accordingly. (Especially as it is the accepted one!) – mpy – 2014-10-10T13:40:39.850

yep, on a side note, bundle install works again today on zsh, i've probably done a whole lot of stuff so i didn't catch the exact solution, but thumb this up if you can fix it with, setting up ruby gem and then gem install bundler. – user2167582 – 2014-10-10T19:04:08.533
