git add error:insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database

Environment
I was running ubuntu 18.04 in vagrant, and when I did git init and git add, git add. displayed the following error:
VirtualBox:version 6.0.6r130049

 error:insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database.git/objects
error:READ.md:failed to insert into database
error:enable to index file READ.md
fatal —Adding files failed

When I read the article online, it was a permission issue, so I looked up the permissions in ls-l.git/objects.

drwxr-xr-x1 vagrant vagrant 96 Jun 2708:46 b6
drwxr-xr-x1 vagrant vagrant 160 Jun 2708:54 e4
drwxr-xr-x1 vagrant vagrant 96 Jun 2708:43ff
drwxr-xr-x1 vagrant vagrant64 Jun 2708:42 info
drwxr-xr-x1 vagrant vagrant 64 Jun 2708:42 pack

Output: ls-l.git

I think it's the same error as here, but I don't know why it works well with sudo.

In fact, sudogit add. worked.However, I don't want to add sudo every time, so it would be helpful if there is a solution.
Looking at this, the owner can read and write, so there seems to be no problem with the permission, but what is the cause?
I would appreciate it if you could let me know if anyone knows.
Thank you for your cooperation.

.git/ Because there are small subdirectories below the directory, it may be easier to change permissions in bulk than to identify individual files that cause them.

Change Owners and Groups

$chown-R vagrant.vagrant.git

add read-write permissions

$chmod-Rug+rw.git
