How to make Git case sensitive?

My operating system is not case sensitive by default, which means that there is no difference between capitalizing the letters of a filename, for example.

This behavior constantly gets in my way when I’m in a local Git repository, especially when I want to change a file name and only change the box with a few letters of the file name. Git doesn’t even recognize the change.

The question is, is there a way to change this Git behavior, making it case sensitive (box-sensitive)?

If so, I’d like to know how I can do it to global level (to any repository on my computer) and level of a specific project (repository), so that other people who eventually go to work on this project also have this kind of preconfiguration.

Exists the configuration core.ignorecase

You can use it as follows:

git config --global core.ignorecase [false|true]

It is possible to check more on documentation
