/bin/cp: cannot create regular file: Permission denied

git@test.tld:~/repositories/cpanel-devops$ /bin/cp index.html /home/git/public_html/
/bin/cp: cannot create regular file '/home/git/public_html/index.html': Permission denied

git@test.tld:~/repositories/cpanel-devops$ /bin/cp index.html /home/git/public_html/
/bin/cp: cannot create regular file '/home/git/public_html/index.html': Permission denied

So I'm following a deployment config file for cPanel and I think I'm pretty close to getting it set up. Part of the deployment process is to run the command on

line 4

line 4

deployment:
 tasks:
 - export DEPLOYPATH=/home/git/public_html/
 - /bin/cp index.html $DEPLOYPATH # This

deployment:
 tasks:
 - export DEPLOYPATH=/home/git/public_html/
 - /bin/cp index.html $DEPLOYPATH # This

The deployment process wasn't completing, so I logged into my

git

git

user (the one that owns the home directory, not the

root

root

user). I tried running the command

/bin/cp index.html $DEPLOYPATH

/bin/cp index.html $DEPLOYPATH

and I get the following error:

git@test.tld:~/repositories/cpanel-devops$ /bin/cp index.html /home/git/public_html/
/bin/cp: cannot create regular file '/home/git/public_html/index.html': Permission denied

git@test.tld:~/repositories/cpanel-devops$ /bin/cp index.html /home/git/public_html/
/bin/cp: cannot create regular file '/home/git/public_html/index.html': Permission denied

I've poked around and this seems to be a permissions issue. On further inspection, it seems to be the

/home

/home

directory. The

git

git

user isn't authorized to read the

/home

/home

directory (though I am able to execute

/bin/cp

/bin/cp

and

cd

cd

into

/home/git

/home/git

(

git

git

directory)). I believe it would fix the issue if I changed the permissions, but the thing is, I don't want to. It doesn't make sense for me to do that either -- I don't want my

git

git

user to have access to other users' folders / files. Am I missing something or is the only way to

sudo

sudo

or change the

/home

/home

folder permissions?
