git-filter-repo: Move everything from sub-folder one level up.
$ git filter-repo --path-rename ${path-to-folder-:}
try on your machine
The command "git filter-repo --path-rename ${path-to-folder-:}" is used to rename a directory or folder in a Git repository's history.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "git filter-repo" is a tool used for filtering and rewriting Git repositories.
- "--path-rename" is an option that specifies that we want to rename a path.
- "${path-to-folder-:}" is the placeholder for the original path or folder that we want to rename.
To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-folder-:}" with the actual path or folder you want to rename. For example, if you want to rename a folder named "old_folder" to "new_folder", the command would be:
git filter-repo --path-rename old_folder:new_folder
This command will perform the necessary operations to rename the specified folder in the entire Git repository's history, including all branches and commits. The result will be a modified history where the renamed folder is reflected.
