Git command to show my permissions on a given remote

Question

A colleague can fetch from, but not push to a remote repository. I suspect that he has only read and not write permissions on the remote. There are various ways I can check this but I cannot think of one he can use within git.

Is there a git command to show one's permissions on a given remote repository?

Answer 1

No.

Git doesn't handle any permission mechanism itself. One of the reason he can not push is he doesn't have the right access on the remote filesystem.
