Moving Files in Git
The mv
command is also used to move files. Let's move a file from one folder to another, for example:
git mv old/file.txt new/file.txt
In this case, after checking the status of the files in the terminal, a message will be displayed about renaming the file, not about moving it:
Changes to be committed:
renamed: old/old.txt -> new/new.txt
The fact is that operating systems are designed in such a way that renaming files and moving them are identical.
Move any file in your repository.
