Unable to rename a file in Git

Question

I want to rename SystemDBContext.cs to SystemDbContext.cs and when I try renaming the file like this:

git mv SystemDBContext.cs SystemDbContext.cs

I get the following error:

fatal: destination exists, source=BabyChangeFinder/DataAccess/SystemDBContext.cs, destination=BabyChangeFinder/DataAccess/SystemDbContext.cs

I checked the directory; the destination definitely doesn't exist:

$ ls
SystemDBContext.cs

Anyone know what's going on here?

Answer 1

Try

git mv --force SystemDBContext.cs SystemDbContext.cs

or

git mv -f SystemDBContext.cs SystemDbContext.cs
