Change case of a file on Windows? [duplicate] Ask Question

There are a couple of files in our git-controlled codebase that I'd like to rename. Specifically, I just want to change the case of the file, so that sourceCode.java becomes SourceCode.java, for example. The catch: I'm on a Windows box, and the filesystem thinks those are the same file name.

How can I get Windows and Git to recognize that change and check it in? The change of the file name should not be ignored, but committed to git.

To rename the file you can use the standard git mv command. Since Windows treats files with only changes in case as identical, you have to pass the -f option to force a rename:

git mv -f name.java Name.java

If instead you want to ignore case changes, have a look at the question How to make git ignore changes in case?.
