You can rename all files in the current directory in Linux using a simple command in the terminal. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Use the cd command to navigate to the directory containing the files you want to rename:

1

cd /path/to/directory

1. Use the rename command to rename all files in the current directory. Here's an example that renames all files with a .txt extension to have a .backup extension:

1

rename 's/.txt$/.backup/' *.txt

In the above command:

• s/.txt$/.backup/ is the substitution pattern that replaces .txt with .backup
• *.txt specifies that all files ending with .txt should be renamed

You can modify the pattern and file extension to meet your renaming requirements.

Make sure to double-check the new filenames after running the command to ensure they are as expected.
