I've moved a bunch of files around manually without thinking, and can't find a way to get git to recognize that the files are just moved and not actually different files. Is there a way to do this other than removing old and adding the new (and thus losing the history), or redoing all the changes with git-mv?

In Git's case, it will try to auto-detect renames or moves on git add or git commit ; if a file is deleted and a new file is created, and those files have a majority of lines in common, Git will automatically detect that the file was moved and git mv isn't necessary.

Git stores the complete history of your files for a project in a special directory (a.k.a. a folder) called a repository, or repo. This repo is usually in a hidden folder called . git sitting next to your files.
