    OSX offers both case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems

    Defaults to insensitive and if you want to change it you have to reformat 🥲

    I've been using case insensitive fs on macOS for years and the only software having issues with this is onedrive.

    can't say i'm surprised.

    I have issues with Docker a lot. Example: Rename a file from "File.js" to "file.js" in a dependency and it's like something caches the old name so even when I redownload or install that dep it tries the old name and fails to find the file. Might just be me and my tomfoolery

    This is likely because docker runs Linux in a VM on MacOS right?

    We've had similar problems with stuff that works on the developers Mac but not the server which is case sensitive. It can be quite insidious if it does not cause an immediate "file not found"-error but say falls back to a default config because the provided one has the wrong casing.

    The same issue happens with git (on windows). The file system says they're the same file and they haven't changed, so you have to manually tell the program the file changed. With git, you'd run git rm --cached && git add . On docker, you could just do a non-cached build via docker build . --no-cache

    That isn't true.

    Which part? I'd love to switch if there's no reformatting, and if your exception is with the first part, I'd ask for some evidence. All of my mac machines arrived brand new, case insensitive. Granted that's only 3 so far, but it's a smattering from 2019 onward. All the literature online points to this being the default too
