@jaisingh Sorry for later response, I cannot reproduce this issue.

$ ll examples/nginx.conf
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ubuntu ubuntu 235 Nov 27 01:54 examples/nginx.conf*

$ frep-1.3.3-linux-amd64 --overwrite examples/nginx.conf.in

$ ll examples/nginx.conf
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ubuntu ubuntu 235 Nov 27 01:56 examples/nginx.conf*

Could you provide your details？

frep-1.3.10-linux-amd64 seems do not preserve file permissions.

On the other hand, I do
chmod --reference "from_file" "to_file" ; chmod a-w "to_file"

Dropping write permission prevents editing generated file carelessly.
