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.

Usage 🚀

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

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

Options:
  -v, --verbose                    Verbose output
  -s, --sort                       Sort in the natural order
  -a, --absolute                   Treat as absolute paths
  -d, --directory                  Directories themselves, not their contents
  -w, --with-hidden                Include hidden files
  -e, --exclude-pattern <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 after editing 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 and directory (and its contents) will be removed regardless of modification of the remaining part of the line.
Destination directories will be created automatically.
In case of line number change or collision, asks whether to re-edit or abort. Aborts without asking if --oops is specified.

Configuration 🎚

Default command line options can be specified by the environment variable MOOVE_OPTIONS.
The default editor is searched in the following order.
- environment variable VISUAL
- environment variable EDITOR
- hardcoded lists
- platform-specific generic file openers
