I'm trying to use cp
to copy all files from sub-folder to current folder in zsh on osx. I basically want to have the problem these people are trying to get around:
I want the opposite.
When I copy files, my .git
folder is NOT being copied along with the rest of the files.
I've tried the following to no avail:
cp -RLv fetch/* ./
cp -RL fetch/* ./
cp -Rv fetch/* ./
cp -R fetch/* ./
cp -rv fetch/* ./
cp -r fetch/* ./
cp fetch/* ./
Is this possible? I'm okay with using mv
too if I have to.
The correct command is cp -r fetch/. ./
Asterisk (*
) doesn't work because it is extended by the shell, and by default it doesn't include dotfiles/directories.
