git-mv − Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
git mv <options>... <args>...
This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink.
git mv
[−f] [−n] <source> <destination>
git mv [−f] [−n] [−k] <source> ...
<destination directory>
In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>. In the second form, the last argument has to be an existing directory; the given sources will be moved into this directory.
The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be committed.
−f, −−force
Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists
−k
Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing file unless −f is given.
−n, −−dry−run
Do nothing; only show what would happen
