title: My Git repository is in the wrong root directory. Can I move it? (../ instead of ./)
body: <p>Somehow when I <code>git init</code>ed my latest project a month or so ago I ran the command in the directory one directory higher than the root of my project.</p>
  
  <p>So my repository is in the <code>./project</code> directory and not the <code>./project/my-new-project</code> directory.  I don't know how I didn't realize the issue earlier, but I just never looked for the .git directory until now.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way, without killing my project, to move the repository to the proper directory and then tell git what the new base of the project is?  Just moving the directory doesn't work.  Git thinks all files have been deleted.</p>
