2 directories same spelling one directory is camel cased

David Brown· Oct 12, 2016, 16:05 UTC · lore

Howdy git gurus,

I have the dubious distinction of working with a remote repo (master) that has a class loader run-time error when cloned, built and executed.

The reason for the runtime issue is a directory hierarchical path has to directories (folders) with the same name spelling but one of the directories is camel-cased. The package names are the same.

The compiler doesn't care but the run-time class loader has an issue with the 2 'same like named' classes.

How to remove the offending directories and files at the locally cloned repo but not push 'deleted' directories and files back to origin/master the remote repo?

Please advise.

Regards.

It is somewhat unclear, which issue the class loader has. What does git ls-files | grep -i "sameNameBitDifferent" say ?

What do you mean with "How to remove the offending directories" ?

Just run rm -rf "offending directories" ?

Or, may be git mv dir1 NewDir1

If you don't want to push, you don't have to, or what do I miss ?
