chmod:tldr:4b160

chmod: Give [o]thers (not in the file owner's group) the same rights as the [g]roup.
$ chmod o=g ${filename}
try on your machine

This command sets the file permission for Others (o) to be equal (g) to the group's permission, for a specific file indicated by ${filename}. The "chmod" command is used in Unix-like systems to change the read, write, and execute permissions of files and directories. In this case, "o=g" sets the permission for Others to be the same as (g) the group's permission. The ${filename} denotes the file for which the permissions are being modified.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
