I’ve changed permissions on a folder and want to push it out to the repository. However, git doesn’t recognize the permission changes.

Any idea why not and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Git & directory modes:

    In short, you would need extensions to commit directory modes and permissions in general. See this question:

    How does git handle folder permission? –> http://joeyh.name/code/etckeeper/

    Git & file modes (regular files only):

    Use git-config(1) to see, how git is configured:

    git config core.filemode or git config --global core.filemode respectively

    git config core.filemode true would enable mode change awareness.

    Note:

    • Any local setting will override the corresponding --gobal setting (in case of doubt, I would recommend to change the local config first).
    • core.filemode applies to the x bit of regular files only.
