I have bunch of files with permissions -rwxrwxr-- www-data www-data. In order to be able to edit them, I added my user to the www-data group. Now when I edit and save file with Sublime Text 3, the ownership changes to my user/group. Gedit editor supplied with distro (Linux Mint 16) works fine.
How do I get Sublime Text to keep permissions intact?

Found solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20634684/what-is-sublime-text-doing-when-i-save-a-file
Adding "atomic_save": false to user settings file solves the problem (new files however are still created with my user group as the owner).

this didn't solve the problem, im using dev channel build 3095. and it adds x permissions to the file I save. I am coding in windows and the files are being accessed through samba – kapitanluffy – 2015-11-04T02:13:15.277
Glad my answer could help you out, I'll have to add your issue to the list of those caused by atomic_save. In regards to your other issue, it's not surprising at all that new files are created with your UID/GID, as that is the ownership that Sublime is running with. If you're into Python, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a plugin to check if you're trying to save into a particular file hierarchy, then change the user and group of the file after saving, assuming you can do that yourself from the command line without using sudo. – MattDMo – 2014-05-11T05:16:52.810

I was facing same issue on ubuntu and used below commands to give save permission
sudo chmod 775 -R /var/www/folder_path
sudo chown username -R /var/www/folder_path
please note: /var/www/folder_path is your project folder path or directory where you want to save file.
