       Every time I type "mv" or "cp" to move files around in Linux I think "Uhm why don't I just use rm, since rm is rename" I'm the kind of person that tells others to perss Alt+F4 in games to increase the framerate and then does it himself.

       @hellpie hi, rm is remove, to rename file you have to use the mv (move) command.If you don't believe me, do a rm -rf /

       @Tristann no it really means rename, except since it accepts a list of inputs but not a list of outputs it renames to nothing, effectively removing the file. On top of that, when testing on / I'm pretty sure I would also want --no-preserve-root for maximum results.

       @hellpie so you don't using Linux, or you're using a modified Linux!to rename a file use move:mv itsanexample.sh itisanexample.exe and the file is renamed !I'm a linux user since more than 20 years!!
