18 | git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> <destination> |
19 | git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory> | |
63d34b0b | 20 | |
1114b26e | 21 | In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either |
b933e818 | 22 | a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>. |
1114b26e JW |
23 | In the second form, the last argument has to be an existing |
24 | directory; the given sources will be moved into this directory. | |
25 | ||
26 | The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be | |
27 | committed. | |

29 | OPTIONS | |
30 | ------- | |
31 | -f:: | |
f7aec129 | 32 | --force:: |
b933e818 | 33 | Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists |
1114b26e JW |
34 | -k:: |
35 | Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error | |
36 | condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor | |
37 | controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing | |
38 | file unless '-f' is given. | |
