I encountered a strange situation on OS X recently. I cloned a repository (https://github.com/kevinxucs/Sublime-Gitignore.git), went to folder, and saw "Changes not staged for commit" message for four specific files. It happened every time I repeated the procedure. I even was able to commit those to the repo. At first I thought there's something wrong with repo, but I cloned it on Ubuntu 16.04 and everything was OK; no "Changes not staged for commit" message. Does anyone have any idea? Thank you.

The file listing shows that there is a "nanoc.gitignore" and "Nanoc.gitignore". On APFS and HFS, those are the same file. As a result, one overwrites the other. This is discussed pretty regularly on the list[2], so you can find more details there.

Hope this helps!

For example, (see below), this 2 files a different in the repo, but the file system can not have 'WordPress' and 'Wordpres's as different files or directories at the same time. This affects typically Mac OS and Windows users. There is actually some work going on right now to inform the user about this problem. (Thanks Duy !) If I clone it with a patched Git, I get the following: git clone https://github.com/kevinxucs/Sublime-Gitignore.git Cloning into 'Sublime-Gitignore'... remote: Counting objects: 515, done. remote: Total 515 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 515 Receiving objects: 100% (515/515), 102.16 KiB | 35.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (143/143), done. warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same colliding group is in the working tree: 'boilerplates/Gcov.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Nanoc.gitignore' 'boilerplates/OpenCart.gitignore' 'boilerplates/SASS.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Sass.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Stella.gitignore' 'boilerplates/WordPress.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Wordpress.gitignore' 'boilerplates/gcov.gitignore' 'boilerplates/nanoc.gitignore' 'boilerplates/opencart.gitignore' 'boilerplates/stella.gitignore' Would this text help you ? I am asking because the development is still ongoing, so things can be improved. ``` ## Hadi Safari, 2018-08-16 07:28 Subject: Re: "Changes not staged for commit" after cloning a repo on macOS Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/d132cb0e-97f2-708c-83b2-124ee4569e17%40hadisafari.ir In-Reply-To: <20180816062317.GA5080@tor.lan> ``` On 25/5/1397 AP 10:53 AM, Torsten Bögershausen wrote: > This repo seams not ment to be cloned onto a file system, which is case-insensitive. > For example, (see below), this 2 files a different in the repo, but the file system > can not have 'WordPress' and 'Wordpres's as different files or directories at the same > time. > This affects typically Mac OS and Windows users. > > There is actually some work going on right now to inform the user about this problem. > (Thanks Duy !) > If I clone it with a patched Git, I get the following: > > > git clone https://github.com/kevinxucs/Sublime-Gitignore.git > Cloning into 'Sublime-Gitignore'... > remote: Counting objects: 515, done. > remote: Total 515 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 515 > Receiving objects: 100% (515/515), 102.16 KiB | 35.00 KiB/s, done. > Resolving deltas: 100% (143/143), done. > warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths > on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same > colliding group is in the working tree: > > 'boilerplates/Gcov.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/Nanoc.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/OpenCart.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/SASS.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/Sass.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/Stella.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/WordPress.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/Wordpress.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/gcov.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/nanoc.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/opencart.gitignore' > 'boilerplates/stella.gitignore' > > Would this text help you ? > > I am asking because the development is still ongoing, so things can be improved. > Yes, thank you.
