How to change capital letters for Mac

Closed this issue · 1 comments

At first, I created two local folders with the names of "HW1" and "HW2" but the required names should be "hw1" and "hw2"; so I changed the local folders' names and pushed online. The thing is that nothing changed online. The names of the folders are still "HW1" and "HW2".

Solution: backup the files inside. delete the old "HW1" and "HW2" folders and create"hw1" and "hw2". then paste the files into the new folders.

Key points:

  • path on MAC system is case insensitive but case preserving, so hw1 and HW1 appears as one thing in your local disk
  • path in URL scheme is case sensitive, so xxx.github.io/hw1 and xxx.github.io/HW1 are two different locations.
