Is it possible to change the executable flag (which is the only file permission that git supports) of a file through the GitHub web interface? Of course, it can be done from the command line, but I was wondering if/how it can be done through the web interface.

No, there is no way to change the file permissions via the GitHub UI, Rest API, or GraphQL API.

  • Thanks for your response Preston. Is there a reason behind this, or simply that the feature hasn't been considered or added? Might there be an issue open requesting for this feature? – Patrice Chalin Mar 27 '22 at 16:51

    I don't see any public feature requests for it. You can definitely start a new discussion for it here https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions – Preston Martin Mar 27 '22 at 17:09
