mv

>Usage

The mv command is used to move files and folders from the current directory to another, or to rename a file or folder.

mv [option] [file-name] [directory-name]
mv [file-name] [file-new-name]

Example: mv used to rename a file

> mv as_above.txt so_below.txt

>ls
so_below.txt

With this option, if a file in the destination folder has the same name, it won't be overwritten when moving the file.

Asks for a confirmation before copying the files, pressing y will confirm the action and n will negate.

Overwrites the existing files with the same name, does not ask for confirmation.
