NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

26       -f
27           Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists
28
29       -k
30           Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error condition.
31           An error happens when a source is neither existing nor controlled
32           by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing file unless -f is
33           given.
34
35       -n
36           Do nothing; only show what would happen
