Bash/Shell-Move all files from subdirectories into target directory?

Question

How do I bash a command or a shell script to move all the files from the subdirectories to one target directory in Linux?

Answer 1

If you are using GNU mv, the -t option (target directory) is pretty useful:

find sourcedir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 mv -t target 

man mv gives more details.

Answer 2

Try something like this:

find sourcedir -type f -exec mv {} targetdir \;
