copied!<p>As mentioned in "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/5443141/6309">Wrong file permission when using git pull in a hook</a>"</p> <blockquote> <p>Git does not store permissions, <strong>apart from the executable bit</strong>.<br> So, on checkout, files are created with the default permissions, which depend on your <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask" rel="nofollow noreferrer">umask</a></strong>.</p> </blockquote> <p>In your case: <code>umask 0022</code> should be set when you are pulling.<br> (that is what I was mentioning in the answer you saw "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/12735291/6309">Prevent Git from changing permissions on pull</a>")</p> <p>This assume that you have, in the target repo, a configuration like:</p> <pre><code>git config core.sharedRepository true </code></pre> <p>The other solution is mentioned in "<a href="https://serverfault.com/a/113688/783">How do I share a Git repository with multiple users on a machine?</a>", where you would make sure to pull in a repo initialized like so:</p> <pre><code>git init --shared=0022 </code></pre> <hr> <p>The OP <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/563114/tom-haws">Tom Haws</a> adds in the comments:</p> <blockquote> <p>Do you know why git at my client's production server is able to pull without having file permission changes even when there is no <code>sharedRepository</code> entry in that repository's config?</p> </blockquote> <p>Maybe because umask was set by default to <code>0022</code> already, meaning that, by default, the git shell inherits the <code>umask</code> of the system.<br> Changing the <code>umask</code> requires a <code>core.sharedRepository</code> set to <code>true</code> to take it into account instead of taking the <code>umask</code> of the parent process.<br> That, or because the repo was created with <code>--shared=0022</code>.</p> <p>To see how an <code>umask</code> can be set (system wide or user-wide), see "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/10221511/6309">How to set system wide <code>umask</code>?</a>"</p> <p>To check an <code>umask</code> just before a git command (which would inherit its value), simply type:</p> <pre><code>umask </code></pre>
