PhpStorm 2016.2 Help

Copying, Renaming and Moving Files

There is no automatic renaming or moving files in the version control systems. Working with the clients, you have to manually copy a file to a new location, change its name, add to VCS and remove the old file. PhpStorm's refactoring features make it possible to easily move and rename files under version control, performing all actions involved in these functions.

In the Version Control tool window, next to the resulting files PhpStorm explicitly states: renamed from <file name> or: copied from <folder name>.

ws_renamedFile

To copy, move or rename a file under version control

    All added and deleted files are placed to a changelist.
