# `bird assets folders`

## Usage

```bash
bird assets folders
```

## Description

Folders form a tree within the workspace. Renaming or moving a folder preserves its
assets' URLs. Deleting a folder moves its contents to its parent. Mutations take flags
or a JSON body; listing returns cursor pages.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request. Destructive commands require --yes.
