Can .vimrc .viminfo files be moved?

Question

I usually use debian8 to log in to my debian operating system.
/home/debian8 There are two files under .vimrc .viminfo
Later, in order to facilitate the installation of plug-ins, I created a new directory /home/debian8/.vim
Can I change .vimrc .viminfo Move to /home/debian8/.vim

After testing, the configuration cannot be read normally after moving. Can I change the settings after moving to make this move feasible?
Personally feel that this result
/home/debian8/.vim/.vimrc
/home/debian8/.vim/.viminfo
is better than the following
/home/debian8/. vimrc
/home/debian8/.viminfo

Answer 1

Then use -u and -i to specify it every time you start it

Answer 2

ln -s /home/debian8/.vim/.vimrc /home/debian8/.vimrc
