Yes, you are correct. On Linux, the ‘mv’ command is commonly used to rename files and directories. In the scenario you mentioned, ‘fogsettings-firstInstall’ is the new name given to the file ‘.fogsettings’ using the ‘mv’ command. By renaming the file in this way, you can effectively create a backup copy of the original file while also giving it a new name.
mv .fogsettings fogsettings-firstInstall
In the above command, the file ‘.fogsettings’ is renamed to ‘fogsettings-firstInstall’. The original file is now backed up with a new name, allowing you to keep a copy of the previous settings.
