A file is considered executable if it has a file extension indicating it, e.g. `.exe`. In Git for Windows' Bash (which comes from MSYS2), `ls -l` will also consider files whose first line is a hash-bang one (e.g. `#!/bin/sh`) as executable. This information is however _not_ used by Git. If you want to mark a file as executable in Git for Windows, you will have to use `git add --chmod=+x <file>`. Ciao, Johannes
