Sometimes you mess your Rails application Unix permissions and get some annoying errors with git. This gem runs a simple shell script to fix that. Granting 755 permissions to folders and 644 to files, it also ensures that some special files inside the 'bin/' will recive special 755 permissions (bundle, rails, rake and spring) which is pretty much the Rails default. Works with all versions of Ruby on Rails; After install run 'rails-fix-permissions' on terminal inside the application folder to fix. Note that in some cases you may need to run it as superuser with 'sudo'.
