| 13 | DESCRIPTION |
| 14 | ----------- |
| 15 | This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink. |
| 16 | |
| Junio C Hamano | fce7c7e | 2008-07-02 03:06:38 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | git mv [-f] [-n] <source> <destination> |
| 18 | git mv [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory> |
| Junio C Hamano | 1a4e841 | 2005-12-27 08:17:23 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | |
| 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. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be |
| 26 | committed. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | OPTIONS |
| 29 | ------- |
| 30 | -f:: |
| 31 | Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists |
| 32 | -k:: |
| 33 | Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error |
| 34 | condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor |
| 35 | controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing |
| 36 | file unless '-f' is given. |
