Mistake in the Windows command line code in the Rust book

[TomasHubelbauer]

In the Getting Started section of the Rust book, there's this snippet under Creating a new Executable and Source Directory:

$ mkdir src
$ mv main.rs src/main.rs
$ rm main  # or 'del main.exe' on Windows

On Windows, there's no mv, just move. The mv and other commands are available when one uses Cygwin or similar, but the book says nothing about that, so it should be fixed to include a comment similarly to the line underneath it.

$ mkdir src
$ mv main.rs src/main.rs # or 'move main.rs src/main.rs' on Window
$ rm main  # or 'del main.exe' on Windows

Want to open a PR to modify it yourself? :)

[TomasHubelbauer]

I do and I will in a couple of days. :)

[GuillaumeGomez]

Great! cc me once done then please. :)

More specifically, it is only the cmd shell which doesn't support rm or mv. Powershell has aliases for both the cmd and bash versions.

@retep998 Thanks for the note. This is definitely good to know, but I haven't included it in the comment since with move you can't go wrong whichever shell you choose on Windows, so this should be beginner friendly.

People who already know they can use mv in PowerShell will just use it so I think it's right the comment doesn't mention it. Still a good point, tho!
