Let's say I clone a git repo onto my NTFS drive. After that, I open that as a dev container in VS Code. Would +x permissions on shell scripts work then? In this scenario, the +x attribute is set on the file in git.
I know NTFS doesn't support it, and trying to understand what the workflow looks like.
- baby_souffle 3mo agoNtfs supports alternative data streams so they probably use that to record the unix permission byres
- Neywiny 3mo agoMy recommendation is that sadly it's just not worth it. NTFS not being case sensitive has caused me uncountable lost hours for why repos wouldn't compile. I don't understand people choosing to rely on case sensitivity for anything because it's a readability issue for me, but people do. The amount of times I've just re-cloned in the wsl drive and my weirdness goes away is too high
- awson 3mo agoNTFS is case sensitive.
- tuwtuwtuwtuw 3mo agoI'm cloning into WSL today. But I don't follow how that would work for these new WSL containers.
