Chom is a command line utility that alters the permissions of your current directory and its subdirectories to work properly with your web server.
Specifically, it executes:
$ chown -R g+w .
$ chmod -R <username>:<system www group> .
Install it from the command line:
$ gem install chom
From the command line, go into the directory you'd like to alter the permissions of, and execute:
$ chom
If permissions weren't able to be altered properly, chom will exit and suggest you attempt with sudo:
$ sudo chom
