22 git-mv \- Move or rename a file, directory or symlink
26 \fIgit\-mv\fR <options>... <args>...
31 This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink\&.
34 git\-mv [\-f] [\-n] <source> <destination>
35 git\-mv [\-f] [\-n] [\-k] <source> \&.\&.\&. <destination directory>
39 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\&.
42 The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be committed\&.
48 Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists
52 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 \fI\-f\fR is given\&.
56 Do nothing; only show what would happen
