Bash - add permission to execute all *.sh files located in some directory

In this article we would like to present simple way how to add permission to execute all *.sh files located in some directory using Bash.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx

find /path/to/directory -name "*.sh" -exec chmod u+x {} \;

Note: above command will find all *.sh scripts (even in subdirectories) and will add them execution permissions (u+x - user add execution permissions)

In this section we can see command running example on current working directory.

xxxxxxxxxx

find . -name "*.sh" -exec chmod u+x {} \;
