13 | DESCRIPTION | |
14 | ----------- | |
15 | This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink. | |
63d34b0b JH |
16 | |
17 | git-mv [-f] [-n] <source> <destination> | |
18 | git-mv [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory> | |
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:: | |
b933e818 | 31 | Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists |
1114b26e JW |
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. | |
37 | -n:: | |
38 | Do nothing; only show what would happen | |
