title: Moving a file to a new location using the command line
|
|
intro: You can use the command line to move files within a repository by removing the file from the old location and then adding it in the new location.

Many files can be [moved directly on {% data variables.product.product_name %}](/articles/moving-a-file-to-a-new-location), but some files, such as images, require that you move them from the command line.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.command_line.manipulating_file_prereqs %}
|
|
|
|
1. On your computer, move the file to a new location within the directory that was created locally on your computer when you cloned the repository.
|
|
{% data reusables.command_line.open_the_multi_os_terminal %}
|
|
3. Use `git status` to check the old and new file locations.
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git status
|
|
> # On branch <em>your-branch</em>
|
|
> # Changes not staged for commit:
|
|
> # (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
|
|
> # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
|
|
> #
|
|
> # deleted: /<em>old-folder</em>/<em>image.png</em>
|
|
> #
|
|
> # Untracked files:
|
|
> # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
|
|
> #
|
|
> # /<em>new-folder</em>/<em>image.png</em>
|
|
> #
|
|
> # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
|
|
```
|
|
{% data reusables.git.stage_for_commit %} This will delete, or `git rm`, the file from the old location and add, or `git add`, the file to the new location.
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git add .
|
|
# Adds the file to your local repository and stages it for commit.
|
|
# {% data reusables.git.unstage-codeblock %}
|
|
```
|
|
5. Use `git status` to check the changes staged for commit.
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git status
|
|
> # On branch <em>your-branch</em>
|
|
> # Changes to be committed:
|
|
> # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
|
|
> #
|
|
> # renamed: /old-folder/image.png -> /new-folder/image.png
|
|
# Displays the changes staged for commit
|
|
```
|
|
{% data reusables.git.commit-file %}
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git commit -m "Move file to new directory"
|
|
# Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository.
|
|
# {% data reusables.git.reset-head-to-previous-commit-codeblock %}
|
|
```
|
|
{% data reusables.git.git-push %}
