I had no idea there was a built-in way to make the filesystem case sensitive. My employer probably does not want me to spend time reinstalling my OS for this now but maybe next time I'm given a MacBook for a job I should do this...
Curiously, the iOS filesystem is case-sensitive. A bit of a trap for developers on macOS. I’d expect plenty of third-party stuff to break switching the system drive to case-sensitive.
Makes sense; the iOS filesystem isn't exposed to the user, but macOS' is.
It actually is since iOS 11.
You can make an apfs volume that’s case sensitive and mount it as your project directory/etc, no need to reinstall the whole OS.
If I only want one directory to be case sensitive, yeah. I like when all of them are though.
You think that you do, like I thought that I did, but I doubt that you want it in reality. Last I checked, which was probably under a decade ago(?), there were a bunch of things on macOS that misbehave on a case-sensitive FS, both first- and third-party. I reinstalled same-day.
That's frustrating. Yet another reason for me to prefer Linux for my personal devices and just to tolerate macos for work I guess.
