I needed the check if a file existed in a directory as the migrate script wasn't recognising the file. To check if a file exists:
FILE={your-directory-path} if test -f "$FILE"; then echo "$FILE exists." fi
If your directory path is /Users/{your name}/Sites/migrate/local_dest_dir/fish/../media/apple-store.png
FILE=/Users/{your name}/Sites/migrate/local_dest_dir/fish/../media/apple-store.png if test -f "$FILE"; then echo "$FILE exists." fi
