# jmove
|
|
|
|
**Move source files. Keep every import intact.**
|
|
|
|
`jmove` is a fast, single-binary CLI that moves/renames source files in a
|
|
project and rewrites all import statements that reference them — no IDE,
|
|
no language server, no runtime dependencies. Built for humans *and* AI
|
|
agents.
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
`git mv` moves the file but breaks every relative import pointing at it.
|
|
IDE renames fix imports but need an IDE. Existing CLI alternatives either
|
|
shell out to heavy language servers (bun/ts-morph, Rope, gopls,
|
|
rust-analyzer) or refuse to preview what they will change.
|
|
|
|
jmove's answer:
|
|
|
|
- **Dry-run + unified diff** — see every change before it hits disk.
|
|
- **Atomic apply with rollback** — imports are rewritten first, the file
|
|
moves last; any failure restores everything.
|
|
- **AI-agent mode** — `--json` everywhere, stable error codes, exit codes,
|
|
and a machine-readable skill doc (`docs/SKILL.md`).
|
|
- **Pure Rust, one binary** — no external toolchains to install.
|
|
- **Java support** — the package/directory coupling nobody else automates
|
|
outside IntelliJ.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo install jmove
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Preview what a move would change
|
|
jmove mv src/utils/parser.ts src/core/parser.ts --dry-run
|
|
|
|
# Apply it
|
|
jmove mv src/utils/parser.ts src/core/parser.ts
|
|
|
|
# Java: jmove updates `package`, all `import`s and moves the file
|
|
jmove mv src/com/example/utils/Parser.java src/com/example/core/Parser.java
|
|
|
|
# Find broken imports (exit code 2 if any)
|
|
jmove check
|
|
|
|
# AI-agent workflow
|
|
jmove mv src/foo.ts src/bar/foo.ts --dry-run --json
|
|
jmove mv src/foo.ts src/bar/foo.ts --json
|
|
jmove check --json
|
|
```
|

See [docs/EXAMPLES.md](docs/EXAMPLES.md) for more, and
|
|
[docs/SKILL.md](docs/SKILL.md) if you are an AI agent.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
TypeScript/JavaScript first, then Java (open niche), Python, Go.
|
|
`split` (automatic file decomposition) is planned — no tool does it.
|
|
Full plan: [docs/PLAN.md](docs/PLAN.md).
