File permission

This linter verifies if a file has unnecessary permissions. If a file has execution permissions (+x), file-perm will generate a warning.

It will ignore files starting with #! for types of files that typically have shebang lines (such as python, node or shell scripts).

This linter does not have any affect on Windows.

Run Locally
