In case you wish to contribute to Shopware, fork the master tree rather than cloning it and create a pull request via Github. For further information please visit the section "Get involved" in this document.
2.) Set the correct directory permissions:
chmod 755 config.php
chmod 755 -R cache
chmod 755 -R files
chmod 755 -R media
chmod 755 -R engine/Library/Mpdf/tmp
chmod 755 -R engine/Library/Mpdf/ttfontdata

chmod 755 -R engine/Shopware/Models/Attribute
