git-rename-file - Rename a file or directory and ensure Git recognizes the change, regardless of
Contents
Description
The git-rename-file command renames a file or directory and ensures Git recognizes the change, regardless
of filesystem case-sensitivity. It combines the functionality of the mv command and gitmv.
This is particularly useful for renaming files or directories to change only their case, which might not
be detected by Git on case-insensitive filesystems.
Examples
Rename a file:
git-rename-file old_filename new_filename
Rename a directory:
git-rename-file old_directory new_directory
Name
git-rename-file - Rename a file or directory and ensure Git recognizes the change, regardless of
filesystem case-sensitivity.
