How to move files into different folders while keeping git (TortoiseGit) happy


  • Create the folder you want to move the files into.
  • Select all the files and right-drag them (i.e. drag while pressing the right mouse button) into the relevant folder.
  • When you release the right-button, a menu will popup offering various copy/move options.
    One of them is "Git move versioned item(s) here". 
  • Select that option and your files will be moved into the selected folder.
    Git will also be aware that the files did not disappear but were moved.
