Copy files - Features, integrations, alternatives & more
What it does
This action will copy files from one pipeline filesystem to another. It's most commonly used with apps that have multi-repository structure, like back-end and front-end, for passing arguments from one pipeline to another or to archive artifacts in the pipeline’s filesystem.
How it works
Select the project and the pipeline to copy files. Specific path can be selected within the source pipeline’s filesystem. It’s possible to copy a single file or whole directories. For directories, copy happens recursively so subdirectories will be copied as well.
