Lesson 8: Copying and Moving — cp and mv

Two everyday actions: copy a file (the original stays) and move or rename it (the original leaves its old spot). `cp` copies, `mv` moves. The difference is small but critical.

cp is photocopying a document — you now have two. mv is taking the document to another cabinet — there's only one.

cp: A command that copies a file; the original stays
mv: A command that moves or renames a file; the original leaves its old spot
Rename: mv into the same folder with a new name = a rename
