Hi Raymond,
The semantics of “--copy-from” are: copy the passed path in place of the new
project's “www” directory, which “cordova create” seems to obey. Is that not
what happened in your case? However, the failure to copy over paths that start
with “.” looks like a bug to me. Unless someone
No, what seems to happen to me is:
If I copy-from a directory that has a www folder in it, then it is
treated as the *root* of the new project and a proper Cordova folder
is not created.
If I copy-from a dir that does NOT have a www folder in it, it is
treated as the www folder of a new project.
I definitely can't recreate the end up with a folder that isn't a
project but --copy-from does seem to ignore files it doesn't
recognize. I filed a bug for it.

Ok, so I filed a bug about it not copying misc files
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9041). I can understand
wanting to skip platforms and plugins, but I think there are plenty of
valid reasons to copy everything else. In my case, I built a hook for
Visual Studio Code so I can do a build
The *intention* of copy-from / link-to is to import either (a) a web
project, or (b) another cordova project.
We used to check for (b) I think by the existence of a config.xml and
www/ (note: double check config.xml is required). If that check passes, we
copy those two nested contents only (I
Just checked:

Seems config.xml isn't required. We import the nested www/ if it exists,
and same for config.xml merges and hooks.
I would not expect any files/folders outside of www to be copied, dotfiles
or
And for yet more context, I think this is because we did not want to import
plugins / platforms, and so did not just cp -R the whole thing, but perhaps
thats a better strategy.
Up to you now :)

I had thought that if you used --copy-from and the directory you used
included www itself, then the folders would be copied over to a new
project and merged in with normal default items.
