Issue
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
Solution
You probably just want cp -R $1/* $2/
— that's a recursive copy.
(If there might be hidden files (those whose names begin with a dot), you should prefix that command with shopt -s dotglob;
to be sure they get matched.)
