The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) version 2 allows to use `chmod` on NTFS volumes provided that they are mounted with metadata enabled (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/chmod-chown-wsl-improvements/ for details), for example: $ chmod 0755 /mnt/d/test/a.sh In order to facilitate better collaboration between the Windows version of Git and the WSL version of Git, we can make the Windows version of Git also support reading and writing NTFS file modes in a manner compatible with WSL. Since this slightly slows down operations where lots of files are created (such as an initial checkout), this feature is only enabled when `core.WSLCompat` is set to true. Note that you also have to set `core.fileMode=true` in repositories that have been initialized without enabling WSL compatibility. There are several ways to enable metadata loading for NTFS volumes in WSL, one of which is to modify `/etc/wsl.conf` by adding: ``` [automount] enabled = true options = "metadata,umask=027,fmask=117" ``` And reboot WSL. It can also be enabled temporarily by this incantation: $ sudo umount /mnt/c && sudo mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=22,fmask=111 It's important to note that this modification is compatible with, but does not depend on WSL. The helper functions in this commit can operate independently and functions normally on devices where WSL is not installed or properly configured.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
