This plugin defines a cpv function that uses rsync so that you get the features and security of this command.

To enable, add cp to your plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... cp)

The enabled options for rsync are:

• -p: preserves permissions.

• -o: preserves owner.

• -g: preserves group.

• -b: make a backup of the original file instead of overwriting it, if it exists.

• -r: recurse directories.

• -hhh: outputs numbers in human-readable format, in units of 1024 (K, M, G, T).

• --backup-dir="/tmp/rsync-$USERNAME": move backup copies to "/tmp/rsync-$USERNAME".

• -e /dev/null: only work on local files (disable remote shells).

• --progress: display progress.
