moove - 🚚 Manipulate file names and locations

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

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

Features 🎨

• Displays file and directory names like ls in a text editor, and renames or moves them exactly as you edit them.
• A pre-compiled single executable without any dependencies. Thanks 💖 to Zig and musl libc.
• Supports Linux, Mac, and Windows.
• Supports wildcard patterns including Windows.

Caveats ⚠

• 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-sensitively whatever the platform is.

Usage 🚀

```txt Usage: moove [OPTIONS] [PATHS]...

Arguments: [PATHS]... Paths or wildcard patterns to move

Options: -v, --verbose Verbose output -s, --sort Sort in natural order -a, --absolute Treat as absolute paths -d, --directory Directories themselves, not their contents -w, --with-hidden Include hidden files -e, --exclude-pattern Exclude regular expression pattern -c, --copy Copy without moving -u, --dry-run Dry-run -o, --oops Abort in case of collision (prompt as default) -q, --quiet No output to stdout/strerr even if error -h, --help Print help -V, --version Print version ```

• Displays file and directory names like ls in a text editor.
• You can edit the list as you want to operate. The order of lines corresponds to the original one. Empty lines will be ignored.
• Operations are canceled if you close the editor without saving.
• If a line starts with //, the file will be removed regardless modification of the remaining part of the line.
• Intermediate directories will be created if you modify its ancestor directories.
• In case of line number change or collision, asks whether to re-edit or abort. Aborts without asking if '--oops' is specified.

• Default editor is searched in following order.
  • environment variable VISUAL
  • environment variable EDITOR
  • hardcoded lists
