+## Renaming files and folders
+
+Git's behavior regarding file and folder names is influenced by the case sensitivity of the underlying file system. Some file systems, like macOS by default, are case-insensitive, while others like those in most Linux distributions are case-sensitive. To be sure git picks up filename changes, -especially when you are only changing the casing of a filename- one should use the `git mv` command.
+
+```bash
+git mv MyFileName myfilename
+```
