Advanced Copy

advcpmv is a command-line utility designed to enhance the traditional cp, mv, and rm commands with advanced safety and user interaction, making file operations less error-prone and more informative for users working in terminal environments. Instead of blindly copying, moving, or removing files, advcpmv adds features like progress displays, confirmation prompts, intelligent conflict resolution, and smart skipping of identical files, giving users greater transparency and control over batch operations. The interface maintains the familiar syntax of the classic Unix utilities while augmenting it with options that help prevent accidental data loss—such as asking before overwriting or deleting, comparing file hashes, and showing predicted outcomes. It’s particularly helpful in scripting or large-scale file management tasks because it combines safety with speed, balancing automation with intentional checks.
