I have script:
find ./SourceFolder/ -maxdepth 4 -exec cp -R '{}' ./DestFolder/ \;
SourceDir contains also sub-folders.
Problem that in DestFolder not only all tree, but in up level all another levels and files.
How to fix ?

cp -r ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder

So, to clarify, capital -R option will copy the root dir again; small -r option keeps the root paths the same.

@AnneTheAgile - from my tests just now and according to the man pages, -r and -R don't differ.

cp is not a bash command but a separate executable, so it is system-specific. True bash commands on the other hand are the same across operating systems.

I had to add a slash at the end of my source folder. Not sure why. I was using build vars too.
cp -r "$CONFIG_PATH/" "$CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH"

Will this not create
SourceFolder in DestFolder? |
code for a simple copy.
cp -r ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder
code for a copy with success result
cp -rv ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder
code for Forcefully if source contains any readonly file it will also copy
cp -rf ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder
for details help
cp --help

also try this cp -r ./dist/* ./out;
this command will copy dist/* files to out dir;

@SherylHohman It's different because he put a /* on the end of the source folder. I don't know why that matters though.

this response instead of copying the entire folder copies content of the source folder into the destination (./out) folder
You might find it handy to keep your attributes set
cp -arf ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder

cp -arf ... throws the error "cp: the -R and -r options may not be specified together." Changing it to cp -af ... solves it. I'm not sure if it's a typo on your end of if cp -arf ... actually worked for you, but I hope this helps in case anyone is getting the same error. Reference: stackoverflow.com/a/32695418/5810737
