as a beginner in I was confused as to how this worked and first few times the sudo chown didn't work until I added $ sign front of staff. It'd be helpful to those who's going to come after me and be a mac user.
sudo chown -R $USER:$staff . \ for mac user

Hello @Zamy97
Thank you for this report. You are right, there are cases when group "staff" does not exist, but I'm not sure about env variable "$staff". I'm not sure it exists always.

Could you try to execute this command (in your project folder) without group mention:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) .

Does it work?
