Gulp Copy

Overview

Gulp-copy is an intriguing tool designed for developers looking to streamline their file management processes within Gulp pipelines. This package provides a straightforward way to copy source files to a new destination, allowing for further piping and manipulation. While some might find they can accomplish similar tasks with the built-in gulp.dest, gulp-copy stands out for its unique options that cater to more complex workflows.

It offers users a chance to maintain a cleaner directory structure by enabling the removal of specific path prefixes, thus keeping the necessary depth in file organization. This added functionality can be particularly useful for projects where precise control over file sources and destinations is needed.
