Quick tip #2: Copy entire content of a directory

Copying the entire content of one directory to another it’s easy:

cp /source/path/* /destination/path

Copying the entire content of one directory to another recursively (if it has directories within to copy too) it’s also easy but I always forget how to do it:

cp -R /source/path/* /desination/path

I know, it’s all in the manpages!
