I want to ignore mode changes for git diff.

I've tried core.filemode but it doesn't work.

$ touch foo bar
$ git -c core.filemode=false diff --no-index foo bar
diff --git a/foo b/bar
old mode 100644
new mode 100755

How can I have git diff ignore mode changes?

@matt, no it seems like it should but as I demonstrate, `core.filemode` doesn't work. – Paul Draper Jan 19 '22 at 14:40

The `core.filemode` problem is limited to `--no-index` diffs, and there is a workaround. – torek Jan 19 '22 at 19:58
