illegal operation on folder?

[kevinlearnscoding]

I accidentally hit "deny" when macOS asked for the security/privacy permissions for Repomix, and now when I run repomix I get this error:
Unexpected error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, open '/users/myUserNameHere'
even if I cd to another directory it won't let me run anything.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and doing a full tccuntil reset.

Hi @kevinlearnscoding!

You can fix this by updating macOS privacy settings:

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Privacy
2. Select "Full Disk Access" from the left menu
3. Click the lock icon to unlock (if needed)
4. Click "+" and add Repomix

Let me know if you still have issues!

I'll update the code to show clear instructions when macOS permissions are denied.

Adding it this way has proven difficult.
Since it has no app representation in the Applications folder I'm assuming you want me to add the bin alias.
When I run which repomix I get the usual bin location, (/opt/homebrew/bin/repomix) but navigating to this folder while in the System Settings "Add" window greys out repomix.

I apologize for suggesting untested solutions.

I'll try to reproduce this issue on my Mac when I get home and find a proper solution.
Thank you for the detailed report!

After testing several scenarios, I suspect this might be related to your terminal app's permissions rather than repomix itself. Could you try checking the permissions for your terminal app in:

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders

Let me know if checking/updating the terminal permissions helps!
