title: Move a file to a new folder, keeping Git history
body: <p>I am looking to move a folder so that it resides in another folder.</p>
  
  <p>Currently:  /folder1, moved to /holder/folder1, for example.</p>
  
  <p>What is the easiest way to do this both on my home machine (Mac) and git to ensure that all of the history of the files within that folder remain on github.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry for the newb question.  I have only a very basic working knowledge of git, and would like to keep this as simple as possible.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
