Do I need to keep resetting file permissions in local dev?

[KarlBishop]

When I started local dev-ing with Nitro yonks ago, part of the instruction was to set various file permissions to 777.

I often needed to reset these file permissions e.g. when installing plugins, updating Craft or changing anything that touches the project config. And I found a few other folders needed to be 777ed occasionally, so I came to frequently running this command:

sudo chmod -R 777 ./{.env,composer.json,composer.lock,.git,config,modules,storage,templates,vendor,web}

Now this is starting to be a pain. And I noticed there doesn't seem to be an instruction about file permissions in the latest install guide.

So I'm wondering:

• Are 777 file permissions no longer needed when using DDEV?
• If they are still needed, is there a way to auto-reapply them after every install, update or change?

Normaly with DDEV you won't need to mess with file permissions at all.

It all works as it should from the start and doesn't break after install, update or change.
