I'm looking for shell script that merge files from one directory into another.
Sample:
html/
a/
b.html
index.html
html_new/
a/
b2.html
b.html
Usage:
./mergedirs.sh html html_new
Result:
html/
a/
b.html
b2.html
index.html
html/a/b.html
was replaced by html_new/a/b.html
html/a/b2.html
was copied from html_new/a/b2.html
html/index.html
was kept untouched
cp -RT source/ destination/
All files and directories in source
will end up in destination
. For example, source/file1
will be copied to destination/file1
.
The -T
flag stops source/file1
from being copied to destination/source/file1
instead. (Unfortunately, cp
on macOS does not support the -T
flag.)
