Stop tracking file modes in git
Raw
file_mode.txt
Solution
Luckily, the solution is very simple – tell git to stop tracking filemodes! I set this as a global option, but also had to set it on the repository too as it has a default value set in there. The following two commands sorted it out:
git config --global core.filemode false
git config core.filemode false
