ForumCategory: LinuxHow do I rename files in Linux using the command line?

I usually use the mv command to rename files. It's pretty straightforward. Just type mv oldfilename newfilename

If you need to rename multiple files at once, you can use a for loop in a Bash script. I find this method really helpful for batch renaming. For example:
!/bin/bash
for f in .txt; do
mv "$f" "${f%.txt}.pdf"
done

This script changes the extension of all .txt files in the current directory to .pdf.

You can use following command to rename file in linux terminal. The command name is Move(mv) mv vlsi.txt asic.txt Above command will rename vlsi.txt to asci.txt, please note that time stamp will remain same as old file, this will not change.
