# chgrp

> Change group ownership of files and folders.

- Change the owner group of a file/directory:

`chgrp {{group}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`

- Recursively change the owner group of a folder and its contents:

`chgrp -R {{group}} {{path/to/folder}}`

- Change the owner group of a symbolic link:

`chgrp -h {{group}} {{path/to/symlink}}`

- Change the owner group of a file/directory to match a reference file:

`chgrp --reference={{path/to/reference_file}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`

Refactor: add missing `or_directory` where needed. This commit adds the missing `_or_directory` to any example which is specifying an action affecting a file or a directory, but uses the token `{{path/to/file}}` instead of `{{path/to/file_or_directory}}`. 2019-02-08 01:31:19 +01:00			`- Change the owner group of a file/directory:`
