title: How to change the File Mode on GitHub?
body: <pre><code>$ git add test-file
  
  $ git commit -m 'first commit'
   create mode 100644 test-file
  
  $ git push
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <pre><code>$ git update-index --add --chmod=+x test-file
  
  $ git commit -m 'change mode'
   mode change 100644 =&gt; 100755 test-file
  
  $ git push
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>After that if you go to GitHub it still shows as 100644 no matter what.</p>
