Very good! Thank you all!

So in conclusion, does this sh script look good?
I mean, can the first 3 commands be put like that?

$ chown -R fafa:wheel *

$ find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
$ find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

$ find . -type f | while read file ; do
   if grep '^M' "${file}" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
   sed -i '' -e 's/^M//g' "${file}"
   fi
done

Forever grateful! That's me.
