# Allow for case-insensitivity in Windows

Turn on Windows Feature - Windows Subsystem for Linux\
This allows you the option of having one folder called `learning` and another called `Learning` in the same directory. Not that I wanted this but I needed it as I'd messed up my git repo!&#x20;

You need to restart Windows and it will reboot a couple of times while it installs this feature.&#x20;

Once it's done, open command prompt in Admin mode and run

`fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo C:\folder\path enable`

You can set CaseSensitiveInfo on a specific folder, which is what I needed to do.&#x20;

Once it's enabled, I was able to `git clone` my repo and fix the mess.&#x20;
