# git-smartmv - A tool that can decide whether to use `git mv` or `mv`
The `git-smartmv` command-line tool allows moving files and/or directories without having to worry about manually choosing whether to use `git mv` or `mv`.
It can determines whether to use `git mv` or `mv` based on the source and the destination path:
- If the files/directories are being moved within a Git repository, `git-smartmv` uses `git mv`.
- If the files/directories are being moved between a Git repository and a non-Git directory or a different Git repository, `git-smartmv` uses `mv`.
## Installation
Here is how to install git-smartmv system-wide using pip:
```
sudo pip install git-smartmv
```
## Shell alias
To simplify the usage of this tool, you can add the following line to your `~/.bashrc`:
```
alias mv="git-smartmv"
```
## Usage
The `git-smartmv` command-line tool accepts similar arguments as the `mv` command, including the source file or directory to be moved, and the destination file or directory.
```
usage: git-smartmv [--option] <SOURCE>... <DEST>
options:
-w WARNING_THRESHOLD, --warning-threshold WARNING_THRESHOLD
This will raise a warning if the number of files or directories being moved
exceeds the specified amount
-v, --verbose Report the names of the files and/or directories as they are being moved.
-f, --force Force renaming or moving of files and/or directories even if the destination
exists.
-p, --non-interactive
Do not prompt the user to confirm before executing 'mv' and/or 'git mv'
commands.
```
First example:
```
git smartmv file1 file2
```
Second example:
```
git smartmv file1 dir1/ file2 file3 directory/
```
Third example (non-interactive):
```
git smartmv --non-interactive dir1/ dir2/
```
