I moved over an entire repo from linux (Ubuntu) to mac os 10.14, git shows 265 files unchanged except for File Mode changes from 217 to 14001, I am able to pull/push and what not with git, just not sure what to do with these changes.
what does this mean?
What will happen if I simply discard these changes?
Should I commit these changes?

  • Can you explain why the files had mode `217` in the first place? Seems like a strange filemode. – trojanfoe Sep 26 '19 at 08:18
  • No idea, it was just a cloned repo, never even heard of filemode until now. Apparently it has to do with file permissions – Michael Sep 26 '19 at 08:21
  • Have you seen [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53399046/git-gitkraken-file-mode-changes-to-unknown-value-14001-after-restoring-repo)? – trojanfoe Sep 26 '19 at 08:24
  • @trojanfoe just saw this, seems like what I have although the accepted answer wouldn't work for me since I am NOT looking to clone the repo from the source as I have many local branches that dont exist on the source and cannot push them to the source. – Michael Sep 26 '19 at 08:31
  • How did you move the repo? Maybe you should create a `tar` archive on the Linux system, move this to the Mac and extract it there. – Bodo Sep 26 '19 at 08:52
  • I copied it onto a disk-on-key, I can do your suggestion, will that somehow change the file permissions? – Michael Sep 26 '19 at 08:55
