cp
Copy files and directories.
- Copy a file to another location:
cp {{path/to/file.ext}} {{path/to/copy.ext}}
- Copy a file into another directory, keeping the filename:
cp {{path/to/file.ext}} {{path/to/target_parent_directory}}
- Recursively copy a directory's contents to another location (if the destination exists, the directory is copied inside it):
cp -R {{path/to/directory}} {{path/to/copy}}
- Copy a directory recursively, in verbose mode (shows files as they are copied):
cp -vR {{path/to/directory}} {{path/to/copy}}
- Copy text files to another location, in interactive mode (prompts user before overwriting):
cp -i {{*.txt}} {{path/to/target_directory}}
- Dereference symbolic links before copying:
cp -L {{link}} {{path/to/copy}}
