Unable to navigate to /opt/lampp/htdocs in Ubuntu

Question

Problem
I installed lampp in my fresh Ubuntu 18.04 computer. I'm using Gitkraken and i want to clone a repository inside /opt/lampp/htdocs, but Gitkraken gui shows me a permission error (Could not read the contents of opt) when i try to navigate to /opt or hardcode /opt/lampp/htdocs.

What i have tried
1. First i followed the steps from this question:
sudo chown -R username:username /opt/lampp/htdocs
2. Then i tried chmod
sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/lampp/htdocs

My folder owner is correct

// htdocs owner:
drwxrwxr-x 6 myusername myusername 4096 sep 20 23:27 /opt/lampp/htdocs/

// Gitkraken is in:
/snap/girkraken

I don't know why i can't access that folder if my user is the owner. I'm running out of ideas. Any tips?

Thanks!

Solved!

Turns out that installing Gitkraken from "Ubuntu Software" puts it in /snap/gitkraken folder which has very restricted permissions.

Just download it from Gitkraken's website and do the basic permission granting for /opt/lampp/htdocs and you are ready to go!
