# git mv Command
[Git Basic Operations](#)
* * *
The `git mv` command is used to move or rename a file, directory, or symlink.
```bash
git mv
If the new filename already exists but you still want to rename it, you can use the `-f` parameter:
```bash
git mv -f
We can add a README file (if it doesn't exist):
```bash
$ git add README
Then rename it:
```bash
$ git mv README README.md $ ls README.md
