    I agree, but let’s take ‘mv’ as an example. Works fine for single files, but if you want to move an entire directory, then ‘rsync’ is better - if you know how to use it, which, again, I don’t.

      I mean I would likely use * and call it a day in that scenario or go up a directory and still use mv. Im pretty lazy as rsnc is one I would have to do a quick man before using to remind me. I actually back up mostly with tar over rsync so I don’t use it much in civilian life.
