How does one move the contents of a directory or a single file to another directory?

I did the following git mv Jarryd/movementcommands.c src

and got this
fatal: not under version control, source=Jarryd/movementcommands.c, destination=src/movementcommands.c

How should it be moved?

like this git mv Jarryd/movementcommands.c src/movementcommands.c ?

    Both forms should work but because your source file isn’t under git’s control you don’t need git mv, a simple move and add is needed. (I assume that both Jarryd and src are in your git working tree.)

    mv Jarryd/movementcommands.c src
    git add src/movementcommands.c
