How do I fix git duplicate folder names remotely only

I renamed folders in git locally by only change the case (ex: homepage => HomePage), so locally all looks good.
On GitHub however, the 2 folders (homepage and HomePage) are there.

To make sure my local and remote repos are in sync, I deleted my local project folder and ran git clone again. The duplicate folders on GitHub are not cloned, so it seems to me like a GitHub issue.

I want the extra folders (homepage and articles) on GitHub to go away.

No, it is a local OS issue, which is not case sensitive.

Try:

git rm -r homepage/
git checkout -- HomePage

Check that HomePage is there. Add, commit and push and see if you would still have "two" homepage folders.
