 ## Bash command: chmod
 
-**Change the permissions of a File/Directory**, for example `chmod u+x hello.py`. (Gives the user the permission to execute the file)
+The chmod command is used to change file permissions for both files and directories.
+
+The standard mode is used via the arguments listed below in the commonly used arguments section.
+
+The numeric mode is dictated by three numbers the user, group, and others, in that order.
+
+- 4 stands for "read",
+- 2 stands for "write",
+- 1 stands for "execute", and
+- 0 stands for "no permission."
+
+You can also use a combination of these numbers; for example 7 would give all permissions, 6 would give read and write permissions, and 5 would give read and execute permissions.
+
+The reference mode is used by specifying a file for reference and the targeted file. The targeted file then takes on the permissions of the reference file.
 
 ### Usage
 
-**Change the permissions of a File/Directory** 
+```bash
+chmod [options] mode[,mode] file1 [file2 ...]
+```
+```bash
+chmod [Options] Numeric_Mode file1 [file2 ...]
+```
+```bash
+chmod [Options] --reference=RFile file1 [file2 ...]
+```
+### Commonly Used Arguments
+
+The first arguments are the user's permissions that will be targeted. These are followed by a '+' to add permission, '-' to remove permission or '=' to set as the only permissions. 
+
+- `u`: The user who owns it.
+- `g`: Other users in the files' group.
+- `o`: Other users not in the files' group.
+- `a`: All users.
+
+The second arguments dictate the permissions given.
+
+- `r`: Read permission.
+- `w`: Write permission.
+- `x`: Execute permission.
+
+### Examples
 
 ```bash
-chmod [permission] [file_names]
+chmod 754 file1.txt
 ```
-permission can be r+w or r+w+x ...etc
+Gives the user all permissions, the files group read and execute, and all others read.
+```bash
+chmod u+x file1.txt
+```
+Gives the user/owner the permission to execute the file.
+```bash
+chmod -reference=file1.txt file2.txt
+```
+Gives file2 the same permissions that file1 has.
