Changing capitalization of file extensions in Git

Question

I have a use case like where I have image name extension with capital letters like image.PNG, but in my code I have image.png, I want to change to the image.png , (assume I don't want to change in my code) when I am changing the file name in folder but it is not showing in the modified files to commit.

OS: Windows 10 git version 2.18.0.windows.1

Answer 1

You can use the command git mv <old_filename> <new_filename> which is a shorthand for the removal of the old file and the addition of the new one, which will show the change in the name case in the index.
