Git Bash- permission denied when trying to remove directory. Is there a sudo-like command for Git bash?
===

I've created a bitbucket repository and started out with this tutorial:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Clone+Your+Git+Repo+and+Add+Source+Files

All was going well until I've cloned the empty repository, which created a folder called bb101repo, just like the tutorial asked. Then, the tutorial goes on to explain how the name of this folder is not precise enough and how we should make a new one, by a different name.

So, when I tried to remove the folder using the command rm -irf "bb101repo/"
the terminal displays this message:"rm:cannot remove directory 'bb101repo': Permission denied.

Is there a way of going sudo?
