copy-to 1.3.3

A little commandline tool to copy and paste multiple files and directories to single directory with use of configuration

Copy-to

A little python script I use in conjunction with git so you can easily copy (config) files located outside of a git repository to one (or to wherever you want to).

Depends on argcomplete, GitPython, prompt_toolkit

Install it with:

Linux:

sudo apt install pipx / sudo pacman -S python-pipx
pipx install copy-to

Windows:

iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
scoop install pipx
pipx install copy-to

Try running it once if autocompletions aren't working

You can also run (on Linux):

sudo activate-global-python-argcomplete

for installing pythoncompletions globally.

Add a pairset of destination folder - source files and/or directories with

copy-to add myname destination_folder sourcefile1 (sourcefolder1 sourcefile2 sourcefile3 sourcefolder2/*) ...

Copy the files to their destination by running

copy-to run myname1 (myname2)

Or copy the files back to source by running

copy-to run-reverse myname1 (myname2)

Run and run-reverse can run without arguments when present in a git repository that has configured copy-to (Excluding global gitconfig). This is so it can be hooked to a git macro more easily, f.ex. on startup of Lazygit.

[copy-to]
    run = myname1 myname2

This can be setup with copy-to add myname and copy-to set-git myname or
copy-to add myname and copy-to run/copy-to run-reverse after wich a prompt will ask if you want to set it up with git. Both copy-to run and copy-to run-reverse will run using the same run arguments

List configured paths and files with

copy-to list myname/mygroupname/all/all-no-group/groups/all-groups/names/groupnames/all-names

or as a flag

copy-to --list othercommand

'all-no-group' and 'groups' to list all regular configs and groups respectively
'names' and 'groupnames' to list just the regular names and groupnames respectively
You can also use 'all' to list/run all known configurartions

Delete set of dest/src by name with

copy-to delete myname1 (myname2)

Add sources with

copy-to add-source myname folder1 file1

Delete source by index with

copy-to delete-source myname 1 4 7

Reset source and destination folders

copy-to reset-source myname
copy-to reset-destination myname newDest

Groups are based on names. For copying to multiple directories in one go.
Groupnames 'group'/'all' cannot be used.

Add groupname

copy-to add-group mygroupname myname1 myname2

Delete groupname

copy-to delete-group mygroupname

Add name to group

copy-to add-to-group mygroupname myname1 myname2

Delete name from group

copy-to delete-from-group mygroupname myname1 myname2

At default the configuration file is located at ~/.config/copy-to/confs.json, but you can set a environment variable COPY_TO to change this, or pass a -f, --file flag.
