If you're updating scripts in a windows environment that are being deployed to a linux filesystem, even though they are permitted to run locally, you may still find yourself needing to grant execute before pushing.

From this article on [Change file permissions when working with git repo's on windows][1]:

1. Open up a bash terminal like git-bash on Windows
2. Navigate to the `.sh` file where you want to grant execute permissions
3. Check the existing permissions with the following command:

    ```bash
    git ls-files --stage 
    ```

    Which should return something like *100644*

4. Update the permissions with the following command

    ```bash
    git update-index --chmod=+x 'name-of-shell-script'
    ```

5. Check the file permission again 

    ```bash
    git ls-files --stage 
    ```

    Which should return something like *100755*

6. Commit changes and push!

How do I update file permissions with `git-bash` on Windows 7?

I've tried the following without success:

    $ ls -al scripts/script.sh
    -rw-r--r--    1 myUid   Administ       70 Sep  8 11:24 scripts/script.sh
    
    $ git update-index --chmod=+x scripts/script.sh
    
    $ ls -al scripts/script.sh
    -rw-r--r--    1 myUid   Administ       70 Sep  8 11:24 scripts/script.sh
    
    $ chmod +x scripts/script.sh
    
    $ ls -al scripts/script.sh
    -rw-r--r--    1 myUid   Administ       70 Sep  8 11:24 scripts/script.sh
