qmv: Move a single file (open an editor with the source filename on the left and the target filename on the right).
$ qmv ${source_file}
try on your machine
The command qmv is a command-line tool that stands for "quickly move." It allows you to rename multiple files at once using a text editor.
In this specific command, ${source_file} is a variable that holds the name or path of the file you want to rename. The dollar sign ($) and the curly braces ({}) are used to denote variables in bash scripting.
So, when you execute the command qmv ${source_file}, it will open a text editor (usually the default one) with a list of filenames that you want to change. You can then edit those filenames according to your requirements, and on saving the changes, the files will be renamed accordingly.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
