From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Translation-wise it is fine except for one detail.
0777 != 777

left is an octal number, right is a decimal number

Kotlin does not know octal number literals

And really translated it would be `tasks.create`, but `tasks.register` is much better of course. :smile:

You could also write it as `val createCommitHook by tasks.registering(Copy::class) { ... }` if you prefer

Unrelated to the conversion, `rootProject.rootDir` does make little sense.
`rootDir` is the `projectDir` of the `rootProject`. So you get the project dir from the root project of the root project. :slightly_smiling_face:
Either just use `rootDir`, or actually use `rootProject.file(".git/hooks")` instead of `File(...)`

Thanks!

So `fileMode = 0x755` would also be incorrect? Because that _seems_ to work?

Depends on how you define correct.
It will be 03525, or 1877, or 0b0111_0101_0101.
If that is what you want, fine. But it will not be the same as 0755 would have been.

What you can do use octal mode is `fileMode = "0755".toInt(8)`

Okay. Yeah. I think I want typical 755 file permissions, so fileMode = "0755".toInt(8) is more clear to what i want to do. IMO. I think ill do that

Actually, you can leave out the leading 0.
As a number literal in Java and Groovy it tells the complier it is octal.
But as you already tell it by `(8)`, the leading 0 is just noise. :slightly_smiling_face:

IMO it would be nice if Gradle were to add an API using NIO types, such as
```filePermissions = PosixFilePermissions.fromString("rwxr-xr-x")```
(and maybe even a `setFilePermissions("rwxr-xr-x")` shortcut) but clearly that hasn't happened

I guess technically that API doesn't support the setuid/setgid/sticky bits, but I think it's reasonable to call that out of scope for Gradle anyway

additionally I suppose <https://ant.apache.org/manual/api/org/apache/tools/ant/util/PermissionUtils.html#modeFromPermissions(java.util.Set,org.apache.tools.ant.util.PermissionUtils.FileType)|https://ant.apache.org/manual/api/org/apache/tools/ant/util/PermissionUtils.html#modeFromPermissions(java.util.Set,org.apache.tools.ant.util.PermissionUtils.FileType)> is already callable in Gradle

```fileMode = PermissionUtils.modeFromPermissions(PosixFilePermissions.fromString("rwxr-xr-x"), PermissionUtils.FileType.REGULAR_FILE)
```
is a lot more verbose but with some shortcuts it could be clearer than octal
