This has caused me trouble in the past after deploying my code to an Ubuntu server. If you rename a file on Mac, git won’t pick up any changes if you only change the case. macOS displays the newly-cased filename, but git doesn’t see any changes. In the past I’ve worked around this by doing two commits: one to change it to a different filename entirely, and then another to what it should be.

If you use the git mv command to rename the file, git picks it up correctly.
