我尊重上面的答案，我更喜欢使用rsync如下所示:

$  rsync -a directory_name /path_where_to_inject_your_directory/

例子:

$ rsync -a test /usr/local/lib/

mkdir -p "$d" && cp file "$d"

(cp没有这样的选项)。

install -D file -m 644 -t /path/to/copy/file/to/is/very/deep/there

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。

简单地没有创建脚本和简单的命令…

mkdir -p /destination-folder/ && cp file-name /destination-folder/

只需在你的.bashrc中添加以下代码，如果需要可以调整。适用于Ubuntu。

mkcp() {
    test -d "$2" || mkdir -p "$2"
    cp -r "$1" "$2"
}

如 如果您想将“test”文件复制到目标目录“d” 使用,

mkcp test a/b/c/d

MKCP将首先检查目标目录是否存在，如果不存在则创建并复制源文件/目录。
