Use 'git mv' to record filename case changes in Git
Read OriginalThis technical article details a common Git pitfall: when renaming a file by only changing its letter case (e.g., A.txt to a.txt) on case-insensitive file systems, Git fails to detect the change unless you use the 'git mv' command. It demonstrates the problem with examples and explains the potential deployment issues it can cause, especially when code runs on case-sensitive systems.
