WP-CLI not updating in Windows Git Bash

  • Hi, I’m using Git Bash on Windows and when I run the wp cli update, this is the reply I get:

  • To me, that sounds very much like a permissions problem on your system. What is strange, of course, is that according to the path information, it happens within your user profile. Nevertheless, the problem must be somewhere there.

    If you can’t find it, you could also ask the wp cli developers, but I haven’t found any posts there about your problem: https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues
