npm - .npmrc file permission are not stored by git -

in project want use .npmrc file point private repository. documentation npmrc read:

note: because local (per-project or per-user) .npmrc files can contain sensitive credentials, must readable , writable user account (i.e. must have mode of 0600), otherwise ignored npm!

unfortunately git not honouring file permission 0600.

so: how store .npmrc file in git?

as found out right.

git doesn't care file permissions.

git stores 2 permissions (755 & 644), need of 600 not "recognized" git.

to override im using manual script this site or this

git creates directories , executable files mode 777, , non-executable files 666, , umask turns off of bits.

if want default permissions 644 , 755, set umask 022:
