Copy the folder and rename it
In Linux systems, copying folders and renaming is a common operation.
This process can be implemented through the command line. Let's learn how to perform this operation in the Linux system.
We need to use the "cp" command to copy the folder
The basic syntax of this command is:
cp -r source_folder destination_folder
Where the "-r" option represents recursive copying, which can copy the entire folder and its subfolders and files.
In this command, we need to specify the path to the source folder and the destination folder.
For example:
If we want to copy a folder named "folder1" to the same directory and rename it to "folder2", we can execute the following command:
cp -r folder1 folder2
This will copy the "folder1" folder and its contents to the current directory and rename the copied folder to "folder2".
In addition to using the "cp" command,
We can also use the "mv" command in conjunction
To copy folders and rename them
The basic syntax of this command is:
cp -r source_folder destination_folder && mv destination_folder new_folder_name
With this combination command, we can rename the copied folder to the name we want.
For example:
If we want to copy a folder named "folder1" to the same directory and rename it to "folder3", we can execute the following command:
cp -r folder1 folder3 && mv folder3 new_folder_name
This will first copy the "folder1" folder to the current directory and then rename the new folder to "folder3".
Overall
Copying folders and renaming them in Linux systems is a relatively simple and common operation. By using a combination of "cp" and "mv" commands, we can easily achieve this.
The above is personal experience. I hope you can give you a reference and I hope you can support me more.
