Git - configuring files with execute permissions

To configure files so that they are executable when cloned/checked out from git, (saving you to chmod after a checkout):

git add

git update-index --chmod=+x

git commit 

There may also be a method you can use via a .gitattributes file?!

Docker compose 'tricks'

Access a compose container in interactive mode

see: solution on docker forum

Having started docker-compose using a compose file similar to:

version: "2"
services:
  selenium:
      restart: always
      image: stesho/selenium-remote
      ports:
        - "4444:4444"
  centaurtestservers:
      restart: "no"
      image: stesho/centaur-testservers
      ports:
        - "4004:4004"
        - "4005:4005"
        - "4006:4006"
        - "4007:4007"
        - "4008:4008"
      volumes:
        - B:\docker-mount\centaur-build:/tmp/centaur-build
      command: bash -c "echo 'hello world'"
  centaurtests:
      depends_on:
        - "selenium"
        - "centaurtestservers"
      restart: "no"
      image: stesho/centaur-tests

I can run docker ps to list the container now running:


P:\>docker ps

After which I can login to my chosen container in an interactive shell for example:

P:\>docker exec -it objective_bassi bash
