How to prepend a string to all file names in a directory in a bash script?

for f in *.py; do mv "$f" "old-$f"; done

The above one-line will loop over all files in current directory with .py extension and prepend old- into the files.

So for example a file with name main.py will be renamed to old-main.py

#python #bash #script #prepend #move #rename #for

os.Rename in goLang?

Function signature:

func Rename(oldpath, newpath string) error

What Rename does?

Rename renames (moves) oldpath to newpath. If newpath already exists and is not a directory, Rename replaces it. OS-specific restrictions may apply when oldpath and newpath are in different directories. If there is an error, it will be of type *LinkError.
