git-mv(1)


NAME

   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).

BUGS

   Each time a superproject update moves a populated submodule (e.g. when
   switching between commits before and after the move) a stale submodule
   checkout will remain in the old location and an empty directory will
   appear in the new location. To populate the submodule again in the new
   location the user will have to run "git submodule update" afterwards.
   Removing the old directory is only safe when it uses a gitfile, as
   otherwise the history of the submodule will be deleted too. Both steps
   will be obsolete when recursive submodule update has been implemented.
