How do I perform commands in another folder, without repeating the folder path?
- by Valter Henrique
Is there a clever way to do copy and move operations or a command to duplicate a file, without having to do a cd, then mv after, at the same folder?
For example, I have to run the following:
mv /folder1/folder2/folder3/file.txt /folder1/folder2/folder3/file-2013.txt
Note that the directory to where I'm moving the file is the same, but I have to put the whole path again and sometimes it gets annoying. I'm curious to know if there's another way to do that without having to put the whole path again, because the operation would be done in the same path.
