Migration Guide

Upgrading from 1.x to 2.0

No breaking changes! All existing usage continues to work.

New features you can start using:

  1. Exclude folders (optional):

    # Before (scans everything)
python copy.cs.md.py.py

# After (skip test folders)
python copy.cs.md.py.py --exclude test --exclude node_modules

  2. Get help (optional):

    python copy.cs.md.py.py --help

  3. Run tests (optional):

    python test_copy.py

  4. Use batch files on Windows (optional):

    • Just double-click run_copy.bat instead of typing commands

That's it! Your existing scripts and workflows will work unchanged.
