Help: rename

hg rename [OPTION]... SOURCE... DEST

aliases: move, mv

rename files; equivalent of copy + remove

Mark dest as copies of sources; mark sources for deletion. If dest is a directory, copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file, there can only be one source.

By default, this command copies the contents of files as they exist in the working directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the operation is recorded, but no copying is performed.

This command takes effect at the next commit. To undo a rename before that, see "hg revert".

Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.


-A --after record a rename that has already occurred
-f --force forcibly copy over an existing managed file
