How does shelljs.mv work?

shelljs.mv is a function in the ShellJS library that allows you to move a file or directory from one location to another. To move a file, you pass the current path of the file as the first argument and the new path as the second argument: javascript Copy code {{{{{{{ const shell = require('shelljs'); shell.mv('/path/to/myfile.txt', '/new/path/myfile.txt'); This will move the file at /path/to/myfile.txt to /new/path/myfile.txt. To move a directory, you pass the current directory path as the first argument and the new directory path as the second argument: javascript Copy code {{{{{{{ class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-javascript">const shell = require('shelljs'); shell.mv('/path/to/mydir', '/new/path/mydir'); This will move the directory at /path/to/mydir to /new/path/mydir. You can also use the -f option to force the move, overwriting the destination file if it already exists: javascript Copy code {{{{{{{ class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-javascript">const shell = require('shelljs'); shell.mv('-f', '/path/to/myfile.txt', '/new/path/myfile.txt'); By default, shelljs.mv does not print any output to the console. If you want to see the output, you can use the -v option: javascript Copy code {{{{{{{ class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-javascript">const shell = require('shelljs'); shell.mv('-v', '/path/to/myfile.txt', '/new/path/myfile.txt'); This will print a message to the console indicating the file was moved: bash Copy code {{{{{{{ class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-bash">mv /path/to/myfile.txt -> /new/path/myfile.txt In addition to these basic options, shelljs.mv supports a number of other options, such as the ability to move multiple files at once using glob patterns, or the ability to create a backup of the destination file before overwriting it.
