How do I make it so all future files and dirs have the permissions I want (for example, 775 rather than 755 for new directories) on a Mac OS X machine?

On your Mac OS X machine, create or open the following file via the following command:
sudo vim /etc/launchd-user.conf
Then, copy and past the following text into it:
umask 002
Then, restart your computer.

About Me

My photo
I code. I figured I should start a blog that keeps track of the many questions and answers that are asked and answered along the way. The name of my blog is "One Q, One A". The name describes the format. When searching for an answer to a problem, I typically have to visit more than one site to get enough information to solve the issue at hand. I always end up on stackoverflow.com, quora.com, random blogs, etc before the answer is obtained. In my blog, each post will consist of one question and one answer. All the noise encountered along the way will be omitted.
