[+ing / to ] Why this cannot with "to"?
"Grammar in Use" 52 Unit
*like love start prefer hate begin continue (both okay)
Do you like getting up early / like to get up early?
*enjoy stop mind finish suggest ( it cannot with "to")
I don't mind getting up early
But I have seen some sentences include "+to" behind those.

If you've seen "I don't mind to get up early" (yes, I've found a couple of examples), then the writer has made a mistake. That's all.

You might have seen a "from / to" phrase with a gerund where "to" is a preposition and V+ING is more like a noun.
In London you can do anything from eating breakfast in bed to drinking at night.
With verbs "to" is normally part of the infinitive form "to run, to walk etc"
Prepositions are a nightmare, hopefully someone on here will explain this better than me.

Do you like getting up early / like to get up early?
to enjoying - nope
to stopping - nope
to minding - nope
to finishing - you getthe idea.
to suggesting - see above.
Do you like to get up early?
Do you like getting up early?
Do you like getting up early and eating breakfast?
Do you like getting up early to go for a run? [to go for a run] is a separate clause, not part of "like getting"
