6 git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
11 'git-mv' <options>... <args>...
15 This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink.
17 git-mv [-f] [-n] <source> <destination>
18 git-mv [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory>
20 In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either
21 a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>.
22 In the second form, the last argument has to be an existing
23 directory; the given sources will be moved into this directory.
25 The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be
31 Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists
33 Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error
34 condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor
35 controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing
36 file unless '-f' is given.
38 Do nothing; only show what would happen
