When to use git mv command

Question

I could use the git mv file directory to move the file to a directory. But the same can
be achieved by using the Linux command mv. Is there any difference between these two?
Does it matter if I move a file using the git mv or mv command?

git mv automatically stages the moved file, so a simple git commit will suffice after your move or rename is complete.
