ditto

Copy files and directories. More information: https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/ditto.1.html.

• Overwrite contents of destination directory with contents of source directory:

ditto path/to/source_directory path/to/destination_directory

• Print a line to the Terminal window for every file that’s being copied:

ditto -V path/to/source_directory path/to/destination_directory

• Copy a given file or directory, while retaining the original file permissions:

ditto -rsrc path/to/source_directory path/to/destination_directory
