- Ok I see...so then how can I copy nth level of directories with cp and find together?anmac1789– anmac17892023-11-22 07:43:42 +00:00Commented Nov 22, 2023 at 7:43
- @anmac1789 Please take our short tour to see how the site is designed to work. Your explicit questions were "How is this copying all the subfolders?", "How do I make sense of why this is happening?". I believe I have answered these. Asking a follow up question in comments does not fit the site. Editing your post is possible, but expanding it after it was answered is not a good practice. Consider asking a separate question.Kamil Maciorowski– Kamil Maciorowski2023-11-22 07:52:34 +00:00Commented Nov 22, 2023 at 7:52
- my follow up question is related to the original question what do you mean ?anmac1789– anmac17892023-11-22 07:57:06 +00:00Commented Nov 22, 2023 at 7:57
- @anmac1789 The follow-up question is related, but answer(s) will be substantially different. I was able to answer the current questions, but maybe I cannot answer the follow-up. Other users may know answers to the follow-up and there is no need for them to duplicate my answer. In this case having two questions (i.e. posts, threads) is totally within the gist of the site; they will be related, we can link them, no problem. Having one post that covers all your questions may give you partial answers: my answer answers the original questions, new answers will answer the follow-up. Not good.Kamil Maciorowski– Kamil Maciorowski2023-11-22 08:12:14 +00:00Commented Nov 22, 2023 at 8:12

How to Format

def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs

`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
