Well completion-ignore-case is enough to solve this particular problem, the other options are just sugar on top :)
I'm going to add completion-prefix-display-length to these related bonus tips (I have it set to 9). This makes it a lot easier to compare files with long names in your tab completion.
For example if you have a folder with these files:
GNU Readline (which is what Bash uses for input) has a lot of options (e.g. making it behave like vim), and your settings are also used in any other programs that use it for their CLI which is a nice bonus. The config file is ~/.inputrc and you'd enable the above mentioned options like this
$include /etc/inputrc
set completion-ignore-caseonset show-all-if-ambiguous onset completion-map-caseonset completion-prefix-display-length 9
