# Put this function to your .bashrc file.
# Usage: mv oldfilename
# If you call mv without the second parameter it will prompt you to edit the filename on command line.
# Original mv is called when it's called with more than one argument.

One of the problems I ran into for quite a long time yesterday was getting the darn thing to connect to my Google Cloud instance. I kept running into the mosh: Nothing received from server on UDP port 60001. [To quit: Ctrl-^ .] error (by the way - to quit, you have to press . after Ctrl-^ - it's not just Ctrl-^, there is a dot there too!)
