Can't install Mini-NDN due to the following issue.

fatal: unsafe repository ('../ndn-src/mini-ndn/dl/mininet-wifi' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:

   git config --global --add safe.directory ../ndn-src/mini-ndn/dl/mininet-wifi

running git config --global --add safe.directory ../ndn-src/mini-ndn/dl/mininet-wifi this command doesn't solves the problem.

A quick fix,

sudo git config --global --add safe.directory '*' -- if you trust every folder.

else
sudo git config --global --add safe.directory /folder/name

What git command triggers the error? I suppose it's being run as the root user? Why?
