Git with permission change on commit¶

Overview¶

@fooMonster article worked for me

git ls-tree HEAD¶

100644 blob 55c0287d4ef21f15b97eb1f107451b88b479bffe script.sh As you can see the file has 644 permission (ignoring the 100). We would like to change it to 755:

git update-index --chmod=+x script.sh¶

commit the changes

git commit -m "Changing file permissions"¶

[master 77b171e] Changing file permissions 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) mode change 100644 => 100755 script.sh
