file already exists
See original GitHub issueWe have .env and .env.development files in the C:\projects\xxx\.
Running cpy gives:
$ npx cpy './.env.development' './.env'
Cannot copy from `C:\projects\xxx\.env.development` to `C:\projects\xxx\.env\.env.development`: Cannot create directory `C:\projects\xxx\.env`: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'C:\projects\xxx\.env'
Is that the expected result? Is there a workaround? @sindresorhus

I see… Do you think we can solve this or are you happy with
shx? I’m a user of this cli myself and one-to-one file copying works fine. But API can always be improved, it’s just we have to draw up a persuasive case first. What do you think @dy ?Yeah, that’s a bug in
cpy. It should allow the the destination to be a file if the source is just one file and the destination doesn’t already exist as a directory.
