git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
SYNOPSIS
git mv <options>... <args>...
DESCRIPTION
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.
SUBMODULES
Moving a submodule using a gitfile (which means they were cloned with a Git version 1.7.8 or newer) will update the gitfile and
core.worktree setting to make the submodule work in the new location. It also will attempt to update the submodule.<name>.path setting in
the gitmodules(5) file and stage that file (unless -n is used).
