Copying

5. 5. Copying Stuff

   Experiment How to Copy Directories and Files.

   • To Copy a Single File:
     * As in the other cases here ‘cp‘ is the Abbreviation for ‘Copy‘ *

     cp $HOME/livingroom/box $HOME/bedroom/

     You see how in this Example we moved our ‘box’ from the ‘livingroom’ to the ‘bedroom’ :)

     Now verify the correctness of the operation Listing your’s bedroom contents:

     ls $HOME/bedroom/

     And the Output will exactly display as:

     box

   • Now for Instance to Copy a Single Directory inside to another do:

     cp -r $HOME/livingroom $HOME/garden

     List the ‘garden’ contents:

     ls $HOME/garden

     And you’ll Find:

     livingroom

     Now you have also a ‘livingroom’ copy into your ‘garden’ O:

     Moreover to Copy-Duplicate-Rename a Directory:

     First, to be sure you are again into the $HOME area:

     cd 

     And then Make a newly duplicated room do:

     cp -r ./livingroom ./room

     Finally, to Copy-Displace-Rename at the same time:

     cp -r $HOME/livingroom $HOME/bedroom/wardrobe

     But this is Magically Crazy, we have trasformed our ‘livingroom’ into a ‘wardrobe’ inside to the ‘bedroom’ :))
