Fork on Github and case on Windows

Good evening!
Please tell me about working with Github. I forked one project and in this fork I needed to rename some directories and files with a capital letter. After that, I synchronized with the github, but the files with names in lower case got into the repository. How do I make the native Github client case-sensitive on Windows?
Thank you.

Stop, don't do the top... Try this...
git mv file file1
git mv file1 File
(commit)
Maybe that's enough.

In Windows, file names are case-insensitive (you cannot create a folder or file with the same name but in different case).
Try this:
1. Rename by adding "_" (any character) at the beginning. Commit
2. Rename back in the correct case. Commit
3. Use git rebase -i HEAD~2 to merge both commits into one (in the second one, change pick to squash)
4. Specify a commit message in the window that appears.
As a result, you get the commit you need.
