To move a directory to another folder or directory, we can use the mv command followed by the source path of the directory and then the destination path in Linux.
For example, let's say we have a directory called directory1 with some files inside it which we need to move to a directory called directory2, to do that we can use the mv Linux command like this,
# Move "directory1" to "directory2" directory
mv directory1 directory2
-
In the above command after the
mvcommand we have defined the source path of the directory which isdirectory1and after that the destination path which isdirectory2directory where it needs to be moved to. -
Executing the above command will move the
directory1directory to thedirectory2folder.
See the execution of the above command live in repl.it.
That's all 😃!
