    You can also do chmod +x to add the executable bit to whatever the existing perms are.

    0: no permissions
    +4: read
    +2: write
    +1: execute

      I often go chmod -R go+rX . if I want to give read-only access to whatever I’m working on to everyone else. The capital X only sets the executable bit on directories.
