Operating Rename in Git

So far, both Tom and Jerry are using manual commands to compile their projects. Now, Jerry decided to create a Makefile for the project and also put a name for the "string.c" file.

 [jerry @ CentOS project] $ pwd 
 / home / jerry / jerry_repo / project 

 [jerry @ CentOS project] $ ls 
 README src 

 [jerry @ CentOS project] $ cd src / 

 [jerry @ CentOS src] $ git add Makefile 

 [jerry @ CentOS src] $ git mv string.c string_operations.c 

 [jerry @ CentOS src] $ git status -s 
 A Makefile 
 R string.c -> string_operations.c 

Git is pointing R before the file name to indicate that the file has been renamed.

For commit operations, Jerry uses the -a extension, which makes git commit automatically find modified files.

 [jerry @ CentOS src] $ git commit -a -m 'Added Makefile and renamed strings.c to 
 string_operations.c ' 

 [master 94f7b26] Added Makefile and renamed strings.c to string_operations.c 
 1 files changed, 0 insertions (+), 0 deletions (-) 
 create mode 100644 src / Makefile 
 rename src / {string.c => string_operations.c} (100%) 

After committing, he pushes his changes to the repository.

 [jerry @ CentOS src] $ git push origin master 

The above command will produce the following result:

 Counting objects: 6, done. 
 Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. 
 Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 396 bytes, done. 
 Total 4 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) 
 To gituser@git.server.com: project.git 
 7d9ea97.94f7b26 master -> master 

Now, other programmers can observe changes by updating their local repository.
