mv

Move or rename files and directories, with control over overwrite behaviour and backup creation.

Quick Start

1. Verify availability: mv --version (GNU) or man mv
2. Rename a file: mv old-name.txt new-name.txt
3. Move to a directory: mv file.txt /target/dir/

Intent Router

• references/cheatsheet.md — Rename, move single and multiple files, overwrite control, verbose mode
• references/advanced-usage.md — Atomic replacement, backup suffixes, cross-filesystem behaviour, moving directory trees
• references/troubleshooting.md — Cross-filesystem errors, permission denied, destination-exists edge cases
