Copy directory

To copy the content of a directory /source to another existing directory /destination can be achieved with the command cp -a

cp -a source/. destination/

Changing the variables accordingly:

• source = challenge/vendor/
• destination = stg/vendor/

cp -a challenge/vendor/. stg/vendor/

• The -a option is an improved recursive option, that preserve all file attributes and also preserves symlinks;
• The full point (.) at end of the source path (i.e. challenge/vendor/.) is a specific cp syntax that allows you to copy all files and directories (included hidden ones).
