Mac OSX file permissions has '@' - how to remove that '@'

Question

How can I remove that '@' character from the file permissions?

'@' in file permissions for Mac/OSX machines, is used to show that an extended attribute is set with this file.

1. Tried chmod 755 galaxy-ansible.yml but that didn't help.
2. Tried echo | chmod -E galaxy-ansible.yml, didn't help (even with using sudo).
3. Tried xattr -d galaxy-ansible.yml, that didn't help either (even with using sudo).

I even did the above operations as root user, still '@' character is not going away from file's permissions.

[arun@MacBook-Pro-2 ~/aks/anisble] $ ls -l@ galaxy-ansible.yml 
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 arun  staff  270 Dec 22 12:31 galaxy-ansible.yml
    com.apple.quarantine     67 

My ~/aks folder is mapped to a CentOS vagrant box and if I'm on the vagrant box, doing ls -l doesn't give me '@' (as it's not a Max/OSX machine):

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 vagrant vagrant  270 Dec 22 00:12 galaxy-ansible.yml

On my Mac/OSX machine, there are other .yml files but those don't have '@' in the file permissions so I'm trying to remove '@' from galaxy-ansible.yml file (on Mac machine).

Right now the whole roles/.. folder has '@' character for any folder/files.

-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 arun  staff  1132 Dec 21 17:12 README.md
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 arun  staff   102 Dec 21 17:12 defaults
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 arun  staff   102 Dec 21 17:12 handlers
drwxr-xr-x@ 4 arun  staff   136 Dec 21 17:12 meta
drwxr-xr-x@ 5 arun  staff   170 Dec 21 17:12 tasks
drwxr-xr-x@ 7 arun  staff   238 Dec 21 17:12 templates

Answer 1

The following commands helped in clearing the extended attribute at file / folder(recursive) level.

xattr -c <yourfilename>

or

xattr -cr <yourfoldername>
