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