Remove all executable bits from files

To remove all executable bits from all files in the current directory and its subdirectories, you can use the following one-liner command:

find . -type f -exec chmod -x {} \;

Explanation

• find . -type f: Finds all files (ignores directories) starting from the current directory.
• -exec chmod -x {} \;: Executes the chmod -x command on each found file, removing the executable bits.
