It can be challenging to merge or switch a Git branch with folders that have case-sensitive changes on an operating system that is case-insensitive for files. To do this, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make a backup of your repository.

  2. Clone your repository to a new folder on your computer that is case-sensitive to ensure that file/folder names and contents are saved correctly.

  3. Checkout the branch that you want to merge or switch.

  4. Copy the necessary files/folders from your original repository to the new folder, taking care to preserve any case-sensitive changes.

  5. Commit the changes to the new branch.

  6. Push the changes to the remote repository.

  7. Merge or switch the branch within the remote repository.

By doing this, you can ensure that any case-sensitive changes to your files/folders are preserved and merged correctly.
