Yes, you can make Git ignore changes to file permissions using the git update-index command. You can set the --chmod option to tell Git to ignore changes to the executable bit.

Here is how you can do it:

# Run this command for each file or directory where you want to ignore mode changes
git update-index --chmod=-x path/to/file_or_directory

This command tells Git to ignore changes to the executable bit (-x) for the specified file or directory. If you want to apply this to a directory and all its contents recursively, you can use the -r option:

git update-index --chmod=-x -r path/to/directory

Once you’ve marked the files or directories to ignore mode changes, Git won’t consider changes to their executable bit as modifications.

If you’ve already committed the changes to the repository, you might want to follow up with a commit to make sure the changes to file permissions are ignored in the repository’s history:

git commit -m "Ignore changes to file permissions"

Keep in mind that this approach makes Git ignore changes to the executable bit for the specified files or directories. If there are other changes to these files, those changes will still be detected by Git.
