Your question made be think about the real reason... Hm...
I found that I don't know how to retrieve full real path in shell and it confused me. Of course, I can write something like
bolded shows the parent folder. I am not using standard Unix though, I am using OS X. Might be some differences.
So the 1st way I can see is to use something like
Code:
ls -l "directoryname" | cut -f2 -d '>' | sed 's/^ //'
It isn't graceful way, don't you think so? As for me: it is usable but depends on ls standard, and possible differences between UNIX systems. Doesn't it?
Hi there,
Is there any way to obtain a real path from a weird path. For example :
/foo/../bar/ -> /bar/
/foo/. -> /foo/
Thanks in advance

git-mv
GIT-MV(1) Git Manual GIT-MV(1)NAME
git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
SYNOPSIS
git mv <options>... <args>...
DESCRIPTION
This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink.
git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> <destination>
git mv [-v] [-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
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, --dry-run
Do nothing; only show what would happen
-v, --verbose
Report the names of files as they are moved.
