Yes, you can rename a directory in Linux using the command line interface (CLI). To rename a directory in Linux, you can use the mv
command.
Here is the basic syntax for using the mv
command to rename a directory:
mv old_directory new_directory
For example, to rename the directory olddir
to newdir
, you can use the following command:
mv olddir newdir
This will rename the directory olddir
to newdir
.
Keep in mind that the mv
command can also be used to move directories to a different location, not just to rename them. To move a directory to a different location, you can specify the destination path as the second argument to the mv
command.
For example, to move the directory olddir
to the /tmp
directory, you can use the following command:
mv olddir /tmp
This will move the directory olddir
to the /tmp
directory and rename it to newdir
.
For more information on using the mv
command and working with directories in Linux, you can consult the documentation or seek guidance from the Linux community.
