To make Git ignore file mode (chmod) changes, you can use the git config
command to set the core.fileMode
configuration option to false
. This will make Git ignore changes to the file permissions (chmod) when determining if a file has been modified. Here’s how to do it:
git config core.fileMode false
You can run this command in your Git repository to set this configuration option locally. If you want to set it globally for all your Git repositories, you can add the --global
flag:
git config --global core.fileMode false
After setting core.fileMode
to false
, Git will no longer track changes to file permissions, which means it won’t consider changes in file modes as modifications when determining if files have been changed.
