title: How do I make Git ignore file mode (chmod) changes?
body: <p>I have a project in which I have to change the mode of files with <code>chmod</code> to 777 while developing, but which should not change in the main repo. </p>
  
  <p>Git picks up on <code>chmod -R 777 .</code> and marks all files as changed. Is there a way to make Git ignore mode changes that have been made to files?</p>
