Run bash script without chmod

Question

I'm creating bash scripts with .sh extensions, performing smiple tasks, but every new script I have to modify with chmod to run. I see that repositories I download from github/bitbucket containing scripts don't need this and can be run out of the box. How can I achieve this, so when someone download my repository can run this without running chmod +x first. I'm working on MacOS Big Sur

Change your umask so that newly created files are executable. — William Pursell, Jan 18 '22 at 14:02

I you chmod +x the file locally, git will see that as a change to the file, and you can push that change so that anybody else who clones the repo has the executable permissions:

chmod +x script.sh
git add script.sh
git commit -m'make script.sh executable'
git push # if you are on a tracking branch

then is will be executable for everybody

I think that is how the repositories that you downloaded accomplished that.

usually in unix, simply bash [scrip_name].sh is enough

In MacOS also, same might be enough
