Rename a file or directory and ensure Git recognizes the change, regardless of filesystem case-sensitivity.
Synopsis
git-rename-file [Options] <source> <destination>
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 git mv. 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.
