这适用于MacOS上的GNU /bin/bash版本3.2(在Catalina和Big Sur上都进行了测试)

cp -Rv <existing-source-folder>/   <non-existing-2becreated-destination-folder>

“v”选项表示冗长。

我认为"-R"选项是"递归"

人类对-R的完整描述是:

If source_file designates a directory, cp copies the directory and the entire subtree connected at that point. If the source_file ends in a /, the contents of the directory are copied rather than the directory itself. This option also causes symbolic links to be copied, rather than indirected through, and for cp to create special files rather than copying them as normal files. Created directories have the same mode as the corresponding source directory, unmodified by the process' umask. In -R mode, cp will continue copying even if errors are detected. Note that cp copies hard-linked files as separate files. If you need to preserve hard links, consider using tar(1), cpio(1), or pax(1) instead.

在下面的例子中，我在existingfolder的末尾使用了一个“/”，这样它就会将existingfolder的所有内容(而不是文件夹本身)复制到newfolder中:

cp -Rv existingfolder/  newfolder

试一试。

简单的

cp -a * /path/to/dst/

应该能行。

我强烈建议你也这么做。 只是工作。

同样，my/location/poo .txt this/doesn /exist/yet/poo .txt

这里有一种方法:

mkdir -p `dirname /path/to/copy/file/to/is/very/deep/there` \
   && cp -r file /path/to/copy/file/to/is/very/deep/there

Dirname将为您提供目标目录或文件的父目录。Mkdir -p ' dirname…'将创建该目录，确保当您调用cp -r时，正确的基目录已经就位。

这相对于——parents的优点是，它适用于目标路径中的最后一个元素是文件名的情况。

它可以在OS X上运行。

Cp有多种用法:

$ cp --help
Usage: cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
  or:  cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
  or:  cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.

@AndyRoss的答案适用于

cp SOURCE DEST

样式，但是如果您使用

cp SOURCE... DIRECTORY/

cp的风格。

我认为“DEST”在这种用法中没有后面的斜杠是不明确的(即目标目录还不存在)，这可能是为什么cp从未为此添加选项的原因。

下面是这个函数的版本，在dest目录上强制加一个斜杠:

cp-p() {
  last=${@: -1}

  if [[ $# -ge 2 && "$last" == */ ]] ; then
    # cp SOURCE... DEST/
    mkdir -p "$last" && cp "$@"
  else
    echo "cp-p: (copy, creating parent dirs)"
    echo "cp-p: Usage: cp-p SOURCE... DEST/"
  fi
}
