How can I move all git content one-level up in the folder hierarchy?

Question

I have a git repository whose structure looks like:

+--repo.git
|
+----+bootstrap.py
+----+buildout.cfg
+----+.gitignore
+----+webapp
|
+---------+manage.py
         


        

Answer 1

I was able to get it to work simply by doing this from the destination folder:

git mv webapp/* .

It seems this doesn't work in the Windows shell (fails with an error Bad source), but it will work in Windows if you use the Git Bash shell, which expands the * wildcard.
