上个月，我开始通过 fork 相应的 repo、创建功能分支然后提交拉取请求来为 GitHub 存储库做出贡献。在重复该过程几天后，我在使用预安装的 Linux 命令mv和 Git 命令重命名文件时遇到了一个奇怪的问题git mv。
实际的问题是，这取决于您何时使用 移动/重命名文件git mv、何时git add以及何时编辑重命名的文件，您将获得：
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
renamed: somethingelse -> something
或这个：
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
new file: something
deleted: somethingelse
为了证明这一点，我写了一个测试：
#!/bin/bash
# To my knowledge, this “problem” only occurs with new files in a Git repo
printf "COMMAND: mkdir -v gitrepo\n\n"
mkdir -v gitrepo
printf "\nCOMMAND: cd gitrepo\n\n"
cd gitrepo
printf "\nCOMMAND: git init\n\n"
git init
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf "\nCOMMAND: touch something\n\n"
touch something
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf "\nCOMMAND: git add something\n\n"
git add something
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf '\nCOMMAND: git commit -m "Added something"\n\n'
git commit -m "Added something"
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf "\nCOMMAND: git mv something somethingelse\n\n"
git mv something somethingelse
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
# Type in the following on line 1: First line of code
printf "\nCOMMAND: vim somethingelse\n\n"
vim somethingelse
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf "\nCOMMAND: git add somethingelse\n\n"
git add somethingelse
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf '\nCOMMAND: git commit -m "Renamed something to somethingelse and edited somethingelse"\n\n'
git commit -m "Renamed something to somethingelse and edited somethingelse"
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf "\nCOMMAND: git mv somethingelse something\n\n"
git mv somethingelse something
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
# If you add something to the first line, the rename will not be detected by Git
# However, if you instead create 2 newlines and fill line 3 with new code,
# the rename gets detected for whatever reason
printf "\nCOMMAND: vim something\n\n"
vim something
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf "\nCOMMAND: git add something\n\n"
git add something
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
printf '\nCOMMAND: git commit -m "Renamed somethingelse to something and edited something"\n\n'
git commit -m "Renamed somethingelse to something and edited something"
printf "\nCOMMAND: git status\n\n"
git status
cd .. && rm -fr gitrepo && printf "\nREMOVED gitrepo folder\n"
printf "\nDONE.\n"
出于某种原因，这主要影响“新文件”，而不是存储库中已经存在的文件。例如，如果您克隆我的Spoon-Knife 存储库的分支，git clone https://github.com/christianheinrichs/Spoon-Knife.git然后应用链接测试脚本的工作流程，您将看到在大多数情况下，您将能够将 README.md 文件重命名为 README，例如，编辑它仍然算作重命名，而不是新文件/删除的拆分。
虽然我可以在克隆的 Spoon-Knife fork repo 上重现新文件/删除的行为，但我不确定我是如何做到的，当我说我试图弄清楚时相信我。
那么我不明白这里到底发生了什么？
