The cp command (short for copy) is one of the most commonly used commands in Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems. It’s used to copy files and directories from one location to another on the same system.

In this guide, we’ll focus on the cp command and show you how to force it to overwrite files without asking for confirmation on Linux.
