Git: Track permission change 777 to 444

I have used chmod to change permissions on a file. This file is in my Git repository. I changed it from 777 to 444. Git does not show any changes to the file. How do I add this change to Git?

Using Git verion 1.7.9.5

from https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html#sec:unix_file_permissions

The Wrapper task adds appropriate file permissions to allow the execution of the gradlew *NIX command. Subversion preserves this file permission. We are not sure how other version control systems deal with this. What should always work is to execute “sh gradlew”

You could remove the file from your repository and replace it with the file that you changed.

Git will only track whether the executable bit has changed. So, if you had a file that was 666 and changed it to 777, git would track this change, but otherwise does not track file permissions. If you need to track permissions with git, this will require third-party tools. This post explains it a bit. You'd need a third-party tool like git-cache-meta.
