juggling directories
 

Hey all,

I have a directory that has a another directory inside it. The top directory is rather redundant since it only contains the one other one. Is there a way to delete the top level directory and have the contents simply "move up a level"?

Whenever that happens to me, I just move the contents of the sub-directory up, then delete the sub-dir.

Cheers, Lou

EDIT: Be mindful of any links into the sub-dir.

Alright, in that case, how do I move directories? ^_^

Is it just mvdir?

As far as I know, there is no mvdir command. you have to use rm and rmdir command.
If your top level directory is TOP and sub-directory is SUB

user@machine TOP$ mv SUB/* .
user@machine TOP$ rmdir SUB

Thanks Somesh. I usually do it in a GUI but your command line method looks easier.

Cheers, Lou

Thanks, guys
