# Renaming
mv file1.txt file2.txt
# Moving
mv file1.txt src/file1.txtRenaming and Moving a File will make 2 changes...(Let's say in above case)
- Deleting file1.txt
- Creating file2.txt OR src/file1.txt
Now, If we were to Rename or Move a File which is being tracked by Git, Then we'll have to stage both of the changes mentioned above.
Git provides us with a command that can do both, Renaming or Moving and Staging necessary changes.
# Renaming
git mv file1.txt file2.txt
# Moving
git mv file1.txt src/file2.txt
