git-mv(1)


NAME

   git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink

SYNOPSIS

   git mv <options>... <args>...

DESCRIPTION

   Move or rename a file, directory or symlink.

       git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> <destination>
       git mv [-v] [-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.

OPTIONS

   -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

   -v, --verbose
       Report the names of files as they are moved.

SUBMODULES

   Moving a submodule using a gitfile (which means they were cloned with a
   Git version 1.7.8 or newer) will update the gitfile and core.worktree
   setting to make the submodule work in the new location. It also will
   attempt to update the submodule.<name>.path setting in the
   gitmodules(5) file and stage that file (unless -n is used).

BUGS

   Each time a superproject update moves a populated submodule (e.g. when
   switching between commits before and after the move) a stale submodule
   checkout will remain in the old location and an empty directory will
   appear in the new location. To populate the submodule again in the new
   location the user will have to run "git submodule update" afterwards.
   Removing the old directory is only safe when it uses a gitfile, as
   otherwise the history of the submodule will be deleted too. Both steps
   will be obsolete when recursive submodule update has been implemented.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.



Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
