JetBrains Rider 2017.2 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. JetBrains Rider'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 JetBrains Rider explicitly states: renamed from <file name> or: copied from < name>.

To copy, move or rename a file under version control

  1. Select the desired file in the Project tool window, and perform refactoring procedures, as described in the sections:

      All added and deleted files are placed to a changelist.
