Git: rename directory (case-only) on Windows
Since windows iד case sensitive you cant rename the file to the same letters. (Docs == docs [ignored case])
You can do it from git bash since git bash is cygwin and its case sensitive since its a unix emulator.
The command is git mv
git mv <old name> <new name>Here is a demo from git bash. (windows 7)
No. There isn't a way to tell Git that you don't want to move the folder inside any other directory.
This is not a limitation of git, but rather a limitation of Windows and NTFS. Because the filesystem is case-insensitive, it reports that the case-changed new name already exists, which causes the behaviour that you encounter. Try a 2 step rename (with a temporary name), then commit, or changing it on a non-windows (technically on a case-sensitive filesytem) computer.
