# How Do I Make Git Ignore File Mode (Chmod) Changes?

To make Git ignore file mode (chmod) changes, you can use the `core.fileMode` configuration option. Here's how you can do it:

### Option 1: Configure Globally

You can configure Git globally to ignore file mode changes for all repositories on your system:

```bash
git config --global core.fileMode false
```

This command sets the `core.fileMode` option to `false` globally, which means Git will ignore file mode changes for all repositories.

### Option 2: Configure Per Repository

If you want to configure Git to ignore file mode changes for a specific repository, navigate to the repository's directory and run:

```bash
git config core.fileMode false
```

This command sets the `core.fileMode` option to `false` for the current repository only.

### Note:

- The `core.fileMode` configuration option controls whether Git considers changes to executable file permissions (file mode) as modifications that should be staged or committed.
- By default, Git considers file mode changes when determining if files have been modified. Setting `core.fileMode` to `false` tells Git to ignore file mode changes, treating them as if they were not modifications.
- Ignoring file mode changes can be useful if your development environment or workflow involves file mode changes that you don't want to track in Git.
- After configuring `core.fileMode` to ignore file mode changes, Git will only consider changes to file content when determining if files have been modified.
