Copy multiple directories with one command

Question

Is there any way to copy multiple directories in one command, to reduce the number of layers? E.g., instead of:

COPY dirone ./dirone
COPY dirtwo ./dirtwo
COP         


        

Answer 1

That's the documented behavior of the copy command:

If is a directory, the entire contents of the directory are copied, including filesystem metadata.

Note: The directory itself is not copied, just its contents.

Best workaround I can suggest is to change your directory layout in your build folder, move the three folders under one parent folder and add the parent.
