Fixing Git Commit Not Replacing Folder With Changed Case on Mac
If you’re working on a Mac and using Git, you might run into an issue where Git won’t replace a folder that has had a change in case. For example, if you have a folder called “Article” and you change it to “article”, Git might not recognize the change and won’t replace the old folder with the new one.
Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem. You can configure Git to not ignore case sensitivity by running the following command:

This will tell Git to consider changes in case when replacing files or folders.
It’s important to note that changing this setting may cause issues if you’re working on a project with others who are using different operating systems. Windows, for example, is not case sensitive, so if you change this setting, it may cause issues for Windows users.
