Moving a file to a new location

In addition to changing the file location, you can also update the contents of your file, or give it a new name in the same commit.

Moving a file to a new location on GitHub Enterprise Server

1. In your repository, browse to the file you want to move.
2. In the upper right corner of the file view, click to open the file editor.
3. In the filename field, change the name of the file using these guidelines:
   • To move the file into a subfolder, type the name of the folder you want, followed by /. Your new folder name becomes a new item in the navigation breadcrumbs.
   • To move the file into a directory above the file's current location, place your cursor at the beginning of the filename field, then either type ../ to jump up one full directory level, or type the backspace key to edit the parent folder's name.
4. En la parte inferior de la página, teclea un mensaje de confirmación corto y significativo que describa el cambio que realizaste al archivo. Puedes atribuir el cambio a mas de un autor en el mensaje del mismo. Para obtener más información, consulta "Crear una confirmación con co-autores múltiples".
5. Debajo de los campos del mensaje de confirmación, decide si deseas agregar tu confirmación a la rama actual o a una rama nueva. Si tu rama actual es la rama predeterminada, debes elegir crear una nueva rama para tu confirmación y después crear una solicitud de extracción. Para obtener más información, consulta "Crear una solicitud de extracción nueva".
6. Haz clic en Proponer cambio en el archivo.

Moving a file to a new location using the command line

You can use the command line to move files within a repository by removing the file from the old location and then adding it in the new location.

Many files can be moved directly on GitHub Enterprise Server, but some files, such as images, require that you move them from the command line.

Este procedimiento supone que ya has:

• creado un repositorio en GitHub Enterprise Server o que tienes un repositorio existente que es propiedad de alguien más con quien desees colaborar
• clonado el repositorio de forma local en tu computadora

1. On your computer, move the file to a new location within the directory that was created locally on your computer when you cloned the repository.
2. Abre la TerminalTerminalGit Bash.
3. Use git status to check the old and new file locations.

   $ git status
   > # On branch your-branch
   > # Changes not staged for commit:
   > #   (use "git add/rm ..." to update what will be committed)
   > #   (use "git checkout -- ..." to discard changes in working directory)
   > #
   > #     deleted:    /old-folder/image.png
   > #
   > # Untracked files:
   > #   (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed)
   > #
   > #     /new-folder/image.png
   > #
   > # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

4. Prepara el archivo para confirmarlo para tu repositorio local. This will delete, or git rm, the file from the old location and add, or git add, the file to the new location.

   $ git add .
   # Adds the file to your local repository and stages it for commit.
   # Para deshacer un archivo, usa 'git reset HEAD YOUR-FILE'.

5. Use git status to check the changes staged for commit.

   $ git status
   > # On branch your-branch
   > # Changes to be committed:
   > #   (use "git reset HEAD ..." to unstage)
   > #
   > #    renamed:    /old-folder/image.png -> /new-folder/image.png
   # Displays the changes staged for commit

6. Confirma el archivo que has preparado en tu repositorio local.

   $ git commit -m "Move file to new directory"
   # Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository.
   # Para eliminar esta confirmación y modificar el archivo, usa 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' y confirma y agrega nuevamente el archivo.

7. Sube los cambios en tu repositorio local a tu instancia de GitHub Enterprise Server.

   $ git push origin your-branch
   # Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin
