Fetching git://github.com/seuros/capistrano-puma.git

Retrying git fetch --force --quiet --tags 


"/home/asad/.bundler/cache/git/capistrano-puma-e90ae8bdcca081264c0ff67caa1d11e89f7a01e0" due to error (2/3): Bundler::Source::Git::GitCommandError Git error: command `git fetch --force --quiet --tags "/home/asad/.bundler/cache/git/capistrano-puma-e90ae8bdcca081264c0ff67caa1d11e89f7a01e0"` in directory /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p598/bundler/gems/capistrano-puma-7748efb9a53d has failed.

In my case I am using rbenv and faced the same issue while bundle install.

Reason

while cloning the rbenv from its repo I unknowigly used sudo like

sudo git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

This makes sudo the owner of the directory and other users have no permission to access the repo.

Solution

Don't know if it is the best way to solve this issue; sorry

I changed the permission of the directory ~/.rbenv

sudo chmod 777 ~/.rbenv/**

If you are using rvm, From the command line run: 

~> rvm fix-permissions

This solved that kind of error for me.

bundle exec bundle install

worked for me. I made the mistake of installing ruby when I was logged in as root so I have to do this now until I fix the problem.

I experienced the same issue when upgrading bundler ... it turns out the cache directory in the bundle system install location was causing the issue .. purging this completely fixed the problem - this was on OSX, not using RVM, but the standard OSX ruby on 10.10.3
