cp

Summary

cp'' copies a file after cloning or after an update (only when new commits were downloaded). It is like mv'' but preserves the original file.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice cp"{from} -> {to}"
zi ice cp"docker-c* -> dcompose"

Details

The separator is -> (space, arrow, space). Both sides are filenames or glob patterns relative to the plugin directory.

cp'' runs after mv'' and before atclone''/atpull'' (unless those start with !). Unlike mv'', the source file is retained.

Works with both plugins and snippets.

Examples

# Copy a config template to a working copy without destroying the original
zi ice cp"config.example -> config.zsh" atload"source config.zsh"
zi light user/some-plugin
