| 9 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 | -------- | |
| b1889c36 | 11 | 'git mv' <options>... <args>... |
| 1114b26e JW |
12 | |
| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| 15 | This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink. | |
| 63d34b0b | 16 | |
| b1889c36 JN |
17 | git mv [-f] [-n] <source> <destination> |
| 18 | git mv [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory> | |
| 63d34b0b | 19 | |
| 1114b26e | 20 | In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either |
| b933e818 | 21 | a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>. |
| 1114b26e JW |
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:: | |
| f7aec129 | 31 | --force:: |
| b933e818 | 32 | Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists |
| 1114b26e JW |
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. | |
