NAME

6       git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git mv <options>... <args>...
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink.
14
15           git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> <destination>
16           git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory>
17
18       In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either
19       a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>. In the second form, the
20       last argument has to be an existing directory; the given sources will
21       be moved into this directory.
22
23       The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must
24       still be committed.
25

OPTIONS

27       -f, --force
28           Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists
29
30       -k
31           Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error condition.
32           An error happens when a source is neither existing nor controlled
33           by Git, or when it would overwrite an existing file unless -f is
34           given.
35
36       -n, --dry-run
37           Do nothing; only show what would happen
38
39       -v, --verbose
40           Report the names of files as they are moved.
