So I read How to safely change github account name?
But if I just change my username from stevemoser to SteveMoser that shouldn't break any of my repos right? Or is Git case sensitive?

Might depend more on whether your file system is case sensitive or not. – Roman Feb 05 '13 at 16:49

Just tested it out, and it'll break cloning urls (git://, ssh) (at least on windows.
Although, web Urls will still work as they're case insensitive.

4Is this still the case in 2017? I've tried `git clone` from Linux and it seems both mixed case and lowercase URLs work fine – Larpon Jul 11 '17 at 08:48

I have also confirmed this in 2020. Using mixed case has worked for me, it appears everything is case insensitive. – technoY2K Jan 09 '20 at 14:00
