linux - Commit file property changes to git repository -

i have bunch of file incorrect permissions: since files may contain passwords don't want them world-readable after checkout user not have remember changing acces rights.

-rw----rw-.  1 beginner beginner 16 19. sep 04:36 file1.config -rw----rw-.  1 beginner beginner 16 19. sep 04:36 file2.config -rw----rw-.  1 beginner beginner 16 19. sep 04:36 file3.config 

but after using chmod get

-rw-------.  1 beginner beginner 16 21. sep 04:36 file1.config -rw-------.  1 beginner beginner 16 21. sep 04:36 file2.config -rw-------.  1 beginner beginner 16 21. sep 04:36 file3.config 

git status not show these files changed.

question: how can commit property changes these files git repository?

probably filemode not on, thats why git doesn't show changes.

look project, in .git folder config file , should see this:

[core]     filemode = false 

set true or run following command

git config core.filemode true
