How to set Git to ignore chmod changes

When you changed the file permission, Git also tracks and show you as modified files. Many Linux users always face this issue while securing their application by changing the file permission.

If you want a git repository to ignore permission change (chmod), you can configure your git to ignore file permissions changes using the following command:

git config core.filemode false

git config --global core.fileMode false
