From this article on Change file permissions when working with git repo's on windows:
- Open up a bash terminal like git-bash on Windows.
- Navigate to the .sh file where you want to grant execute permissions.
- Check the existing permissions with the following command: git ls-files --stage.
Here was the problem :
- Navigate to the .sh file for which permissions have to be changed to execute through gitbash.
- check the existing permissions by the using the following command git ls-files --stage the command will show you the current file permissions like 100644.
Git Tracks ONLY the Executable Bit of the Permissions for the User Who Owns the File.
