In my previous guide, I have shared four methods of renaming a file or a folder, in that guide I have discussed a little bit about renaming via command line. In this guide, we will discuss it in detail. The command we will use for this is: mv. The mv command not only renames your file/folder, it can change the location of your renamed file if you wish to do so.

1. Type mv then open Finder and drag the file on terminal (this is to copy the full path of file to the terminal)
Note: Please do note that while dragging the file to terminal, make sure that the finder window and terminal window don't overlap else this trick won't work.
2. Now you need to give the new file name, here you have two options based on where you want your new file to be.

For example:
Svn Command Line Mac Terminal
Now the renamed file would be moved from TheMacBeginner folder to the Documents folder.
