NAME
git-mv - Move or rename a file, directory or symlink
SYNOPSIS
git-mv <options> <args>
DESCRIPTION
This script is used to move or rename a file,
directory or symlink.
git-mv [-f] [-n] <source> <destination>
git-mv [-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 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
- Do nothing; only show what would happen
