A repository I've been working and committing/pushing with for a while is showing unchanged files have been changed.

After adding/committing these files I can generate a patch which shows they have not been changed. Why does git think these are changed?

 .../bar/index.js     |   0
 .../foo.txt          |   0

  • Do the files have special caracters? are you switching between different os (different line endings)? – Daniel Feb 16 '19 at 21:59
  • I have not switched operating systems, I'm not sure if they have special characters. Is there a way I can get them to show up on the diffs/patches? – icecream Feb 16 '19 at 22:04

The difference in the file permissions. I found the difference by looking through git diff and seeing this.

old mode 100755  
new mode 100644
