mvts: like mv but for TypeScript files

mvts is a a tool for moving TypeScript files and updating their relative imports and affected files. This is WIP but works on my machine :).

Usage

mvts takes two arguments: source_file_path and target_file_path.

mvts source_file.ts some_folder/another_folder/moved_source_file.ts

mvts moves source file to target_file_path and edits it's imports so that they are correct in the new location. mvts finds all files that import moved file and updates them accordingly.
