Unmove files with bash

A simple little shortcut idea that might be handy when juggling files with long names.

# Define a bash alias. Could be plopped in ~/.bashrc unmv() { mv $2 $1; } # Move a file out of the way to dodge some script # ------------------> mv my-file my-file.bak # Do some stuff # Unmove the file back to its original position # <------------------ unmv my-file my-file.bak
