How to rename directories?

Renaming directories in Linux is similar to renaming files and can be accomplished using the mv command. Here’s how to do it:

Basic Syntax

mv OLD_DIRECTORY_NAME NEW_DIRECTORY_NAME

Example of Renaming a Directory

Renaming a Directory:
If you want to rename a directory called old_directory to new_directory, you would use:
```
mv old_directory new_directory
```
Renaming a Directory in a Different Path:
If the directory is located in a different path, you can specify the full path:
```
mv /path/to/old_directory /path/to/new_directory
```

Important Notes

If a directory with the new name already exists, it will be overwritten without warning unless you use the -i option to prompt before overwriting:
```
mv -i old_directory new_directory
```
Ensure you have the necessary permissions to rename the directory.

Summary

Renaming a directory in Linux is straightforward using the mv command. Just specify the current directory name and the new directory name, and the directory will be renamed.
