mate rename¶

Rename a managed file

Synopsis¶

Rename a managed file in both source and target.

This renames the source file, the target file, and updates tracking.

Attributes belong to the source file only; the target is always named without them. If <new-name> has no attributes, the source keeps the ones it already has. If it has any, they replace the source's attributes, so give the full set. #encrypted cannot be added or dropped this way, since that would not change the content: use 'mate encrypt' or 'mate decrypt'.

Hooks matching the old or the new target path run afterwards, with a confirmation prompt (see 'mate hooks').

mate rename <source> <new-name> [flags]

Examples¶

  mate rename nvim/init.lua init.vim
  mate rename zsh/.zshrc .zshrc.bak
  mate rename git/.gitconfig#template .gitconfig.local
      (source becomes .gitconfig.local#template, target .gitconfig.local)
  mate rename ssh/.ssh/config config#perm:600
      (changes only the attributes; the target keeps its name)

Options¶

  -h, --help   help for rename

  -c, --config string    config file (default: mate.yaml in $STATEMATE_DIR if set, else in the local config's source_dir, else in the current directory)
