Copy Hidden Files

Take below for example

1. shopt -s dotglob  # glob will include hidden file & directories

    

2. cp -frv /etc/skel/{,.[^.]}* .

    

3. -T --no-target-directory
   

4. cp -frv /etc/skel/. .

    

5. rsync -rlptogDvz --progress --partial --stats --delete /etc/skel/ .

6. find /etc/skel -mindepth 1 ! -name .bashrc -exec cp -r {} . \;

   -mindepth 1 will flatten directories
