The easiest way to package a directory is to put it in a tarball, or ideally
because recipes should just be orchestrating the install, refer to a separate
git repository or tarball. Putting large amounts of actual source code into a
meta-layer is discouraged.

This isn’t how INSANE_SKIP works, remove.

This doesn’t do anything, remove.

install -d is “create directories” and you’re passing it the list of
directories in your workdir. They exist, so install will error.
Here’s a working example of what you’re trying to do. My recipe directory is
structured like this:
.
├── files
│ ├── app
│ │ └── app.py
│ └── user
│ └── user.config
└── filetest.bb
The app is in a subdirectory called app, and the user configuration is in a
directory called user. This splits the two aspects for easier management but
you can ignore that if you want and just have a single directory under files/.
The recipe is trivial:
SRC_URI = "file://app/ file://user/“
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${bindir}
install ${WORKDIR}/app/* ${D}${bindir}
install -d ${D}/home/user
install ${WORKDIR}/user/* ${D}/home/user
}
FILES:${PN} += "/home/user”
As per
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/2.4/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-fetching.html#local-file-fetcher-file,
if you specify a local directory in SRC_URI then the entire directory is
copied. do_install can them simply install -d the target directories, and then
use install with globs to put the files in the right place.
Finally, bindir is in the default FILES but /home is not, so we add /home too.
Ideally you’ll be creating a user and chowning the files, but that is out of
scope for this.
