Ignore permission changes / filemode false?

[IronSinew]

Is it possible to set the action to ignore any permission change commits?

As part of ensuring some of our generated files exist and are accessible, we generate and set permissions in an action and commit files if it was generated previously for the PR. Generally we set the core.filemode config to false for our repositories in the git config, however, is it possible to avoid the 100644 -> 100755 commits that we're getting as part of our action currently?

I honestly have no knowledge or experience using core.filemode.

Would setting core.filemode to false during your Workflow run help here?

- name: Set git to ignore file mode changes
  run: git config core.fileMode false

Or would you be able to share more on how these permission changes happen? An example script that reproduces your action would be very helpful.

This may be the simplest way. I'll test it out and report back 🫡
