# Copy

Fancier way to copy things around!

## Can copy everything

This can copy everything, even binary!

## Installing

### Linux

```bash

sudo curl https://github.com/Simoso68/copy/raw/main/bin/copy -sS -L -o /usr/bin/copy && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/copy

```

### Windows

Still baking, stay tuned! \

But it can be built using PyInstaller.

### MacOS

I don't know anything about MacOS, you need to build it yourself.

## Configuring

### Default Configuration

```json

{

    "progressbar": {

        "bar": {

            "completed":"#",

            "incomplete":"-"

        },

        "container": {

            "opening":"[",

            "closing":"]"

        }

    },

    "backend": {

        "chars-per-iteration":256

    }

}

```

### Progressbar

You can modify the progressbar, its completed element, the text shown for incomplete parts of the progress and the bar containers on each of the sides. \

Please keep those strings only one character large, if you don't want, that the progressbar bugs out.

### Backend

Currently, there is only one setting, chars-per-iteration, it means how many chars copy reads before writing them to the output. \

The default value is 256, but you can increase it to make your program faster, but the progress bar might bug out, when the value is too high. \

Decreasing the value makes the process slower, but the progressbar more accurate. \

Setting the value to 0 will create the output files, but won't write to them.

### Automatic file creation

If no config file exists, copy will create one for you and let you know. \

The config file has the default format, which you can see under the Default Configuration section in this README file.

### Config Parsing Errors

If the configuration file is invalid, copy won't copy any file and instantly lets you know about the error and then exits.

### Location on your filesystem

#### Windows

```C:/Users/USERNAME/.copy.conf.json```

#### Linux or MacOS

```/home/USERNAME/.copy.conf.json```
