Behavior Notes

The action will create any destination paths if they don't exist. It will also overwrite existing files if they already exist in the locations being copied to. It will not delete the entire destination repository.

Thank you paygoc6

I don't know why the main repository was inactive, so I created this repo as a replacement for this action.

Main Repo

You can check the main repo here, where I got the base code idea and applied some tweaks and configs.
