cpar src/ContactForm$ src/MembershipForm$ the folder will contain:

src/ - ContactForm.tsx - ContactForm.module.scss - ContactForm.astro + MembershipForm.tsx (same contents as ContactForm.tsx) + MembershipForm.module.scss (same contents as ContactForm.module.scss) + MembershipForm.astro (same contents as ContactForm.astro)

Making new copies with different extensions

Assume a folder with the following files: src/ - foo.ts - bar.ts

cpar src/$.js src/$.ts the folder will contain:

src/ - foo.js - bar.js

Test Command

cargo test -- --test-threads=1

Use Cases

Probably a bunch, but the ones that prodded me to make the tool in the first place were: - Build scripts for multi-language projects - Porting large numbers of HTML templates to .astro files - Creating a copy of a web UI component to use as a starter template

Todos for V1

• Implement a proper Rust testing library - the included tests are rudimentary and use the standard library.
• Change tests such that they can run in parallel (currently they only run consecutively)
• Find a way to use the actual Bash wildcard character (*) in place of ($).
