Every Arduino sketch must contain a `.ino` file with name matching exactly to the sketch folder name. Previously, there was a case mismatch between the sketch file name "ebaghet.ino" and the folder name "eBaghet" (note the "b" vs. "B"). A case sensitive file system such as Linux is able to handle this just as any other name mismatch:
> The file "ebaghet.ino" needs to be inside a sketch folder named "ebaghet".
> Create this folder, move the file, and continue?
Unfortunately, if the user clicks the "OK" button, only the file "ebaghet.ino" is moved to the new matching folder, leaving behind all the sketch's other essential files:
```
eBaghet:30:10: fatal error: ebaghet_config.h: No such file or directory
#include "ebaghet_config.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
The case mismatch results in an even more confusing situation on the case insensitive file systems of Windows and macOS (by default) due to a bug in the Arduino IDE that causes the "Sample16.h" file to be renamed to "Sample16.h.cpp", resulting in a perplexing error:
```
ebaghet:32:10: fatal error: Sample16.h: No such file or directory
#include "Sample16.h" // Sample template
^~~~~~~~~~~~
```
The solution is to rename the primary sketch file so that it matches the folder exactly.
