Git is changing my file's permissions when I push to server

Question

I am using git to manage a website on a server.

I have a local repository shown below

local@workstation:myapp$ ls -l | awk \'{k=0;for(i=0;i<=8;i++

To extend the comment of @ThomasReggi that serves as a solution to the problem of changing permissions when deploying through git, I leave my implemented solution. You can add a command in the hooks / post-receive file (or whatever hook you are using)

Before the line with the git command --work-tree = (line that performs the deploy) Add some "echo" and the display of the current umask, the setting to the umask necessary to perform the deployment correctly and again the display of the current umask to confirm the change. (This way it can be seen (debug) when performing the deploy)

echo "Ref $ ref received. Deploying $ {BRANCH} branch to production ..."
# SHOW current uMask
echo "Current uMASK:"
umask
echo "Set uMASK to 0022"
umask 0022
echo "New uMASK seted to ..."
umask
echo "end umask conf"

# deploy
HUB_VERBOSE = 1
git --work-tree = $ TARGET --git-dir = $ GIT_DIR checkout -f

This way the umask is only changed for the current session, without affecting the rest of the ssh connections. And also the files are deployed with the necessary permissions from their creation / modification, instead of using a command after the deployment to re-set the necessary permissions, causing your application to fail during the time it takes to apply the appropriate permissions.

If your permission problem affects your php application, it seems that this problem has to do with how you run php (DSO, suPHP, suEXEC) because each of them needs different permission settings to run correctly. If you migrated from server, or changed the php handler it is problem that you will experience this problem.
