| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git mv' <options>... <args>... |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink. |
| |
| git mv [-f] [-n] <source> <destination> |
| git mv [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory> |
| |
| In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either |
| a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>. |
| In the second form, the last argument has to be an existing |
| directory; the given sources will be moved into this directory. |
| |
| The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be |
| committed. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| -f:: |
| --force:: |
| Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists |
| -k:: |
| Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error |
| condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor |
| controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing |
| file unless '-f' is given. |
| -n:: |
| --dry-run:: |
| Do nothing; only show what would happen |
