Working on my [Oblastle](https://oblastle.fun) game today. In an effort to standardize the way I store images for the game in S3 I needed to move all the files with key **image-service/images/oblastle/flags/**  to **/image-service/images/oblastle/flag/**.

Here is how I did it:

```shell
$ aws s3 mv s3://travisshears.images/image-service/images/oblastle/flags/ s3://travisshears.images/image-service/images/oblastle/flag/ --recursive --profile personal
```
