I believe it's up to the git client to follow renames, which in this case is the github web server. It was raised as an issue with github and they said they would support it, but never did. Whether it's because they are scared of the extra processing required I don't know. I believe there is a chrome plugin which hacks round it but I don't use the web interface much because of the issues so I never tried it. > I believe that using horrible GUI clients takes too much of people's days. Just learn the basic flow and you'll have noticeably more time for doing productive work :-) I know people who share your opinion, they are always accidentally commiting code that they didn't mean to because it's too hard for them to see what they are actually pushing.Received on 2018-03-15 13:02:54
