+# The `mv` command
+
+The `mv` command lets you **move one or more files or directories** from one place to another in a file system like UNIX.
+It can be used for two distinct functions:
+
+-   To rename a file or folder.
+-   To move a group of files to a different directory.
+
+_**Note:** No additional space is consumed on a disk during renaming, and the mv command doesn't provide a prompt for confirmation_
+
+### Syntax:
+
+```[linux]
+mv [options] source (file or directory)  destination
+```
+
+### Examples:
+
+1. To rename a file called old_name.txt:
+
+```[linux]
+mv old_name.txt new_name.txt
+```
+
+2. To move a file called _essay.txt_ from the current directory to a directory called _assignments_ and rename it _essay1.txt_:
+
+```[linux]
+mv essay.txt assignments/essay1.txt
+```
+
+3. To move a file called _essay.txt_ from the current directory to a directory called _assignments_ without renaming it
+
+```[linux]
+mv essay.txt assignments
+```
+
