case sensitivity issue - rename a folder in git

Question

I have a folder called Utils.

After checking it in to remote I see it appears as utils which fails the build.

I tried to follow renaming methods (maybe I'm doing it wrong) but I'm not able to change it. This is what I tried.

git mv utils Utils

I'm getting a message that the action failed with no other info

Are you on Windows? Which version of git are you using? What is the exact message you got? — SebDieBln, Dec 30 '21 at 12:55

Rename the folder to something else first, then rename it to your expected name:

git mv utils tmp
git mv tmp Utils
