Files and Directories

file.copy
file.download
file.link
file.remove
directory.copy

Note

The following commands expect the from/source to point to files/directories which are themselves under a "files" directory. This is a restriction so that comtrya knows not to parse any .yaml file e.g. a config for a different tool as a manifest. To see how it works check the examples

file.link
file.copy
directory.copy
