By default, git will update execute file permissions if you change them. It will not change or track any other permissions.
If you don’t see any changes when modifying execute permission, you probably have a configuration in git which ignore file mode.
Look into your project, in the .git
folder for the config
file and you should see something like this:
[core] filemode = false
You can either change it to true
in your favorite text editor, or run:
git config core.filemode true
Then, you should be able to commit normally your files. It will only commit the permission changes.
