Quick summary
Moving a file in GitHub without a terminal is done by editing the filename path directly in the browser-based file editor. You can commit the change to the main branch or open a pull request once the new path is saved.
Steps
- Navigate to the repository where your file is located.
- Go to the file you want to move and click on it.
- Click the pencil icon to open the file in edit mode.
- Modify the path in the filename field at the top to set the new folder location.
- Click 'Commit changes' to open the commit dialog.
- Provide a commit message and description explaining the file move.
- Select either 'Commit directly to the main branch' or 'Create a new branch' and start a pull request.
- Click 'Commit changes' to finalize and save the new file path.
- Your file is now successfully moved to the new location via a updated repository path.
