moove is a command line tool for renaming and moving files and directories using a text editor.

🎨 Features | 🚀 Usage | 📥 Getting started | 💙 Contributing | 🌏 License

• Displays file and directory names like ls in a text editor, and renames or moves them exactly as you edit them.
• Supports Linux, Mac, and Windows.
• Supports wildcard patterns including Windows.
• Default options can be specified as environment variable MOOVE_OPTIONS.

• Given paths have to be convertible to UTF-8.
• Collisions are detected as much as possible, but not perfectly. Does not verify all paths such as hard links and symbolic links.
• Operations are validated case-insensitively whatever the platform is.
