Move a 17 Camaro without starting the car

I have a 17 Camaro SS and I will have it in my shed stored and I like to move it ahead 2 feet but I do not want to start it. Obviously it’s an automatic. How can I do? That battery is good. No problems with it I just don’t wanna start it. Thank you.

Keep your foot off the brake and push the start button twice... Once the dash lights up, push the brake and shift into neutral... Move the car as you wish, get back in and put it in park and hit the start button one more time to put the car back to sleep (without your foot on the brake)...

None of my GM vehicles do that. First press will say "hold brake to start" or clutch if it's the camaro. Second press will just turn it back off.
I have to hold the start button without pressing the brake for about 6 seconds and then it will cycle the ignition on.

You may have to press the start button and HOLD it for 10-15 seconds without pressing the brake. This will unlock the the transmission so it can be shifted. You then can hold the brake and shift it to park when done without starting the engine. This is what I have to do each time I winch it into the trailer, using a broomstick with a rubber cap on it to apply the brake without getting into the car.
