Feature Request: Rename file on copy

[UrsineRaven]

Request

I would like to be able to rename a file when I copy it. The easiest way may be to just have a flag that means copy this file to this path/filename. You could also just check if there's one input file, check if the destination folder is actually a file, and replace it if it is.

Optional multi-file support proposal

If you still wanted to support copying globs or multiple files, the destination name could have a wildcard and you could just replace the wildcard with the matched name.

Use-case

I have a project that uses a file (.env) to store certain configuration options. I have an npm script that deploys my project, but it needs to first replace the config file with one that has the configuration options needed for deployment (.env_publish) which is currently stored in the same folder. I would like to use this package since it's super light-weight. 😄

What I'm currently trying to do: copyfiles .env_publish .env

Existing Work-around

I am aware that I can just create subfolders, and keep all config files named .env, so that when I copy them I don't have to rename them, but I would like to keep them all in the same folder.

My use case is I want to rename files upon copy as well. There's so many use cases, clean up casing etc.
