if you want to change the name of a file or a direcotory in linux you use the mv command

for example, lets say i have this directory:

/home/root/old_name

and i want to rename it to old_name

so i send this command:

go to the directory where the file or directory you want to change the name of

cd /home/root/

send the sehll command:

mv old_name new_name

now the direcotry will be called new_name
/home/root/new_name
