Need to Consider the Case Senstive feature in CLI while creating new file.

[AayushSaini101]

Reason/Context

Please try answering a few of those questions

• Why do we need this improvement?
  CLI should be case-sensitive while creating the file, currently, it is treating tutorial.yml and Tutorial.yml the same and enables to creation of files.
  

• How will this change help?
  It will always be optimal to consider the case-sensitive feature in the CLI

Description

Please try answering a few of those questions

• Will this be a breaking change?
• No, it will not break any current changes only some validation added.

I think this is where the issues is

cli/src/commands/new/file.ts

Line 145 in 2cc2697

const content = await readFile(fileNameToWriteToDisk, { encoding: 'utf8' });

Thanks, @Souvikns Yes, here is the issue. that need to be changed, but, If we write the logic to create a new file after comparing the case as well, we cannot because OS doesn't allow to creation of two separate files with different cases.

[Souvikns]

Yeah, could we change the file-name that we get as input to lowercase and then create the file, or will it create inconvenience for the user?

[AayushSaini101]

@Souvikns We can do this when the user tries to create a file of the same name but different case it should get a message that a particular file is present with a different case. Please change the name. What's your thought?

@Souvikns @fmvilas Any thoughts on this?

🤔 actually the less warning from CLI the better the user experience, it would be better to handle this issue internally, and in our case, we can't really save two same file names with lower and uppercase because of how the filesystem works in nodejs. In my opinion, the error message we have right now works fine, and no need to change anything.

wasn't it solved?

I agree with this approach 👍

@Souvikns Shouldn't we convert the input to lowercase as you proposed here?

Agreed that the less warnings the better user experience but since many doesn't/ will not know the OS case-insensitivity they will get confused as to why different name is not working and if Tutorial.txt already exist. Thus, will try TUTORIAL.txt or something and fail.

Maybe, we can give a better CLI response like " Error: A file named "tutorial.txt" already exists in the directory.

Your current file system is case-insensitive, so "Tutorial.txt" would be treated as the same file name.

Please choose a different name for your new file or delete/rename the existing file."

I am willing to change the CLI response if this idea sounds ok
