+I can see the issue! The script is trying to run git commands on a network path (`//NEXUS/amazon/...`) which is causing ownership/permission issues. We need to add the directory as a safe directory in git config before running the git commands.
+
+Let me update the script to add the project directory as a safe directory:

+
+Perfect! I've added `git config --global --add safe.directory "%projectRoot%"` right after `git init` and before `git lfs install`. This will add the newly created project directory to git's safe directory list, which should resolve the "dubious ownership" error you're encountering when working with network paths.
+
+The command will run after the directory is created and git is initialized, ensuring that all subsequent git operations (LFS install, add, and commit) can proceed without ownership warnings.
