6 git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 'git mv' <options>... <args>...
13 DESCRIPTION
14 -----------
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
26 committed.
28 OPTIONS
29 -------
30 -f::
31 --force::
32 Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists
33 -k::
34 Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error
35 condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor
36 controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing
37 file unless '-f' is given.
38 -n::
39 --dry-run::
40 Do nothing; only show what would happen
