I saw that you had a similar issue with someone here: [Failed to execute /app/your\_program.sh: fork/exec /app/your\_program.sh: permission denied](https://forum.codecrafters.io/t/failed-to-execute-app-your-program-sh-fork-exec-app-your-program-sh-permission-denied/3590)

Hi @Nathan-Waters, the files in the `.codecrafters` folder are missing the x (executable) permission. I’ve fixed them and pushed a commit to your repo.

Could you give it a try, and please let me know how it goes?

```auto
git pull
git commit --allow-empty -m "[try again]"
git push origin master

```
