In this course, you will get the chance to explore the command-line interface (CLI), starting with basics like navigating file systems and working with directories and files. Then, you will use those building blocks to tackle more advanced features and tasks within the CLI. You will also learn to turn basic commands into executable scripts and easily automate common tasks. This course will empower you to put the interface to work, take complete control of your computer, and hack your way to productivity.

Harnessing the Power of the Command-Line Interface

# The `mv` command

File names need to change, and things need occasional reorganization. We use the `mv` file to perform both of these operations. It works almost exactly like the `cp` command, except that the syntax is identical for moving files and directories. To move a file, we specify the source path and the destination path. Let’s try it out.

First, we rename the `files/documents/markdown` directory. We name it `employee_handbook` instead:
```
mkdir -p files/{movies,music,photos,docs/{diagrams,markdown},code/{go,js,elm}}
touch files/docs/markdown/chapter{1..3}.md
mkdir files/backups
clear
mv files/docs/markdown files/docs/employee_handbook
ls files/docs/markdown
ls files/docs/employee_handbook
```
Run the complete code on the terminal below for practice.

Learn how to move and rename files and directories using the mv command.
