This course is designed to help learners obtain the Terraform Associate certification from HashiCorp. 

You’ve likely picked up this course because you dabbled in Terraform as a hobbyist or in a
development environment, and you’re excited about the possibilities of deploying Infrastructure 
as Code (IaC). It will enable you to sharpen your skills and prove your knowledge with a certification from HashiCorp. Terraform is an amazing tool to deploy Infrastructure as Code in a cloud-agnostic way. We’re excited to share our accumulated knowledge with you through this course.

## The `mv` subcommand

The `terraform state mv` command is used to move items in a Terraform state.

### Syntax
The `mv` subcommand has the following syntax: `terraform state mv [options] SOURCE DESTINATION`.

### Arguments
Within the options, there are a few important flags to highlight.

* The `dry-run` flag can be thought of as a what-if. It tells us what it’ll do without making any changes.

* The `state` flag is the path of the source state file, which needs to be specified if we’re not using the `terraform.tfstate` file or a remote back-end.
* The `state-out` flag is the path of the destination file. Terraform uses the source state file unless this is specified.
