How to use 'find' and 'cpio' to exclude parent directories
I want to copy over all html files in a nested directory but I want to prevent the parent folders above it from being generated as well.
That is if my source path is
/project/ng1/src/templates/**, I would like my generated folders to just be /templates/**.
I currently have the following command:
find projects/ng1/src/templates -name '*.html' -path pages | cpio -pdm projects/ng7/templates
But this generates the folder structure: projects/ng7/templates/project/ng1/templates/**
I would like: projects/ng7/templates/**
How do I achieve this?
linux find cp cpio
