The problem is, indeed, the changing of a filename’s case. For me this was because of my Macbook/OSX. Apparently Windows has the same ‘thing’.
Cause: git isn’t able to recognise a change from ‘filename’ to ‘FileName’.
Here’s a list of solutions for anyone stumbling upon this. All the solutions should be run at the project root:
The Permanent fix that will work on current and future projects
Change the git case setting. The file should be committed afterwards
git config core.ignorecase false --global
The Project only fix
git config core.ignorecase false
The just give me a line of code so I can move on fix – credit to Bruce
git commit -a -m "pathspec did not match any file(s) known to git fix"
The I get paid by the hour fix
Delete the file. Commit. Push. Add the file again. Commit. Push.
Based on your needs you may want to revert the settings. Do:
git config core.ignorecase true
