By far the biggest takeaway for me was to alias my cp command to cp -c.
95% of the copies I make are from my terminal so I wasn’t really benefiting from CoW before.
- e40 2y agoWonder if the homebrew version of cp has it, too… afk now.
- tymscar 2y agoDepends on what you mean by homebrew version of cp. cp isn’t a package on homebrew, but I suspect you’re talking about the gnu coreutils which contain the gnu cp. That one does not have the flag. However I think you were still using the old macOS cp without knowing because long time ago when I played with this package, they all were prepended with a g. Like gcp instead of cp.
- e40 2y agoYeah, I meant the cp provided by Homebrew, which is, as you point out, in coreutils. I'm use GNU versions over local versions, in all cases. I have a script which links them into /usr/local/bin/. I guess I can use /bin/cp if I need this.
