And, you may also know that OS X uses case-INsensitive file system by default.
So, How to rename a folder named AAA to aaa ?
Let’s try git mv
|
1 2 |
localhost:case-test sskaje$ git mv AAA aaa fatal: renaming 'AAA' failed: Invalid argument |
git mv –force
|
1 2 |
localhost:case-test sskaje$ git mv --force AAA aaa fatal: renaming 'AAA' failed: Invalid argument |
Why?
Because AAA and aaa are ONE SAME folder/file on case-insensitive file systems, move AAA to aaa means move AAA as aaa/AAA.
