Bash Copy a Directory. using RSYNC

# Copy a dir X recursively into destination/X

# This helps to recreate the SRCDIR (plus all its files and/or subfolders) inside DESTDIR/SRCDIR (plus all its files and/or subfolders)

# Use the following alias cpdir that uses rsync as follows:

alias cpdir='rsync -iruv --ignore-existing'

# Copy a folder as follows

cpdir   /path/to/SRCDIR   /path/to/DESTDIR/

# NOTE:

1. Do NOT include the trailing backslash of /path/to/SRCDIR

2. DESTDIR must include a backslash i.e /path/to/DESTDIR/

# EXAMPLE
- To recreate dir assist (from sdcard/assist) within ~/tmp, do

cpdir /sdcard/assist ~/tmp/

- Note that /sdcard/assist has NO "/" BUT ~/tmp/ does!!

- ~/tmp will now become ~/tmp/assist
