Copy Folder Tree 1.0 For Mac

Recursively copy an entire directory tree rooted at src to a directory named dst and return the destination directory. Dirsexistok dictates whether to raise an exception in case dst or any missing parent directory already exists. Therefore, with Python 3.8+ this should work.

• Start in Single User Mode by holding down Command-S when starting the Mac.
• Commands can also be typed via Terminal app when OS X is running.
