Git Case Fixer

A VS Code extension to fix case sensitivity issues for Git on Windows.

Features

• Right-click on any file or folder in the Explorer context menu.
• Select Fix Git Case Sensitivity.
• The extension automatically runs a two-step git mv to force Git to record the case change on Windows.

Requirements

• Git must be installed and available in PATH.
• The file/folder must be inside a Git repository.

How It Works

On Windows, Git is case-insensitive by default, so it may not detect filename case changes. This extension works around the issue by renaming the file to a temporary name and then back to the target name:

git mv <current_name> <current_name>_tmp
git mv <current_name>_tmp <new_target_name>

Installation
