how to revert 100644 → 100755 commits

• on your repo's root, run : find . -type f | xargs chmod -x
• commit this change on files : commit -n -m 'fix: files permission from 100755 to 100644'
• then with vim .git/config, set filemode option to false

[core]
        filemode = false

Thanks for the gist, you saved me a lot of time.

Thanks! Saved a ton of time!

thanks for this, if you are on ubuntu, xargs command would be like this:
find ~ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -x

This is dangerous!

find ~ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -x

Please change it to find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -x because your current command is executed for each file in your home directory

Thanks, using @marvinpuethe's approach above worked for me

@liitfr The command should be find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -x so that filenames containing spaces do not return a File Not Found error.
