Why does a shell script run locally but report permission denied in CI?
KitForma editorial guide. Git tracks an executable mode bit for regular files. A local filesystem or invocation style may hide that the committed script lacks it.
Step-by-step guidance
Git tracks an executable mode bit for regular files. A local filesystem or invocation style may hide that the committed script lacks it.
Inspect the tracked mode and, when the script is intended to execute directly, record the executable bit with the appropriate Git update-index or filesystem change. Test from a fresh Linux checkout. Also check the shebang and line endings; mode alone is not the only cause. Do not grant broad write permissions to fix execution. If the project intentionally invokes the script through an interpreter, document that entry point instead.
