File permission issues when developing with Windows / hosting with Unix

I am developing a website on my windows laptop, and I use Git for the version control.

When I add my files to Git, they are added under the mode 644. The problem is, on my Linux server, I need the files to be 775. So what I do is, every time I deploy, I have to run chmod 775 -R . on my linux server and then commit the mode changes.

This is really anoying, time consuming, and result in lot of stranges commits.

My question is, how can I make my IDE (PHPStorm) create the files direcly with mode 775? I know Windows does not use the same file permission system as UNIX, but there must be a way to set the files permissions on windows that translates to 775 in Linux?

I tried to use "chmod" command on windows using Cygwin or similar tools, with no luck, Git always saves the files as 644 when I commit on windows.

See: Updating file permissions only in git

In summary, git update-index --chmod should do what you need.
