git-cp

Synopsis

• git-cp - a convenient only subcommand for git that does cp(1) and git-add(1)

• git-touch - git-add new empty files with automatic directory creation

• git-untouch - undo git-touch

Usage

git cp [options] <source>... <destination>

    -v, --verbose         be verbose
    -n, --dry-run         dry run
    -f, --force           force move/rename even if target exists
    -k                    skip move/rename errors

git touch <filename>...

    -v, --verbose         be verbose
    -n, --dry-run         dry run
    -k                    skip create errors

git untouch <filename>...

    -v, --verbose         be verbose
    -n, --dry-run         dry run
    -k                    skip any error

Description

git-cp(1) is written in Perl, which many git subcommands already use, to avoid extra dependency.

It calls git-mv(1) internally to borrow its checking/parsing abilities, so if the output message format changes git-cp(1) may stop working.

git-touch(1) provides a convenient way to create one or more empty files and get them staged. If a specified file already exists, it just adds the path to the index using git add -N file.

git-untouch(1) undoes what git-touch(1) has done.
