…and whoever decided a file system should be case insensitive by default, I hate you.
What’s the use case for case sensitive file names
Think the other way around: What’s the use case for case insensitive file names? Does it justify the effort and complexity for the filesystem and the programs to know the difference between lower and upper space chars?
What’s the use case for case insensitive file names?
Human comprehension.
Readme, readme, README, and ReadMe are not meaningfully different to the average user.
And for dorks like us - oh my god, tab completion, you know I mean Documents, just take the fucking d!
In case you or others reading this don’t know: You can set bash’s tab-completion to be case-insensitive by putting
set completion-ignore-case on
Into your .inputrc (or globally /etc/inputrc)
Thank you
