I have files in my git directory that have permission 600.

When I used git-pull in my computer and git-push in another computer, the permission changes to 664.

Is there a way to preserve permissions(600) after git-pull?

Thanks

    AFAIK, git only track execute permissions on files. Commented Jan 5, 2020 at 11:18

As mentioned by @Kusalananda, git normally only tracks execute permissions. In order to save more permissions information, you would need to implement a pre-commit hook that would gather up the permissions info and store it separately, and another hook to restore permissions on pull.

etckeeper is basically a collection of tools that does this for the purpose of placing your /etc directory under version control. You might want to adapt it to your purposes, or perhaps study what it does to do something similar yourself.
