(move gizmo) appears at the center of
the object.

The Transform gizmos are viewport icons
that allow us to quickly choose one or two axes when moving an object
with the mouse. When we point the mouse at any axis or arrow, it turns
yellow to indicate that it’s active. Now we can move the selected
object along the indicated axis. In addition, we can also use other
areas of the gizmo to perform movement along any two axes simultaneously.

about or along which the movement (or other transformation like Rotation
and Scaling) takes place.

to Y-axis 
button.
