git-unset-filemode

git-unset-filemode.sh

#!/bin/bash
git config --global --unset-all core.filemode
git config --global core.filemode false
find . -name .git -type d -exec sh -c '(cd {}; cd ..; git config --unset-all core.filemode; git_temp=`git status -s`; if [ -n "${git_temp}" ]; then (echo $PWD && git status -s && echo); fi;)' \;

When I copied my full git directory from a linux machine to windows I faced the issue of old mode / new mode. This script sets the global ignore and then goes over all git directories on the current path and removed any local set core.filemode (since they override the global set). Run inside WSL

Its also probably useful to set the crlf:

git config --global --unset-all core.eol
git config --global core.eol crlf

and add the git config --unset-all core.eol to the script
