My question concerns deployment scripts in the process of continuous delivery.Continuous delivery recommends that deployment scripts should be versioned into SCM just as normal code.What is the best practice to avoid issues such as checking out (e.g. from Git) a script that does not have the right permission or is not executable?Also, where in the SCM repository should deployment scripts be located?
