tldr v1.3.0 (v1.3.0-12-g0e54281)

/tmp and /home are in separate partitions which maybe why rename reports the following error:

Invalid cross-device link

This is what #21 was meant to solve, unfortunately, it has yet to be accepted. If you wanted this to work at the moment you could install my fork or, maybe easier, use @12345ieee's workaround in the PR comments which manually puts the tldr files in the correct place.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry, I don't know git-hub very well, I just saw the 5 issues and didn't see #21. Anyway, for my quick and dirty work around I just replaced the rename with the system command using mv.
