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 [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> <destination>
git mv [-v] [-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
-v, --verbose
Report the names of files as they are moved.
GIT
Part of the git(1) suite
