Avoiding Case Changes in a Cloned Repository

bioan

Hello everyone,

I'm facing an issue with a cloned repository where the case of letters in repository name are being changed from uppercase to lowercase. 

For example, I have a repository called TestApp in Bitbucket and when I cloned it into my local PC it appears like testapp not TestApp.

Is there a way to prevent or avoid this behavior?

I appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have.

Thank you!

Hello @bioan and welcome to the Community!

Bitbucket Cloud repositories are not case sensitive, but when cloning a repository, you can provide the name of the folder you want to save the repository right after the git command, like in the below example : 

git clone git@bitbucket.org:WORKSPACE/testingcase.git TestingCase

In the above example, the repository would be saved inside a folder named TestingCase.

If you don't provide the folder name, git will create a folder based on the name of the repository : 

• Save the repo in the folder testingcase: 
  

  git clone git@bitbucket.org:<Workspace>/testingcase.git

• Save the repo in the folder TestingCase
  

  git clone git@bitbucket.org:<Workspace>/TestingCase.git

Both the commands would clone the same repository as they are case insensitive from Bitbucket Cloud's perspective.

Hope that helps! Let us know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @bioan !
