About:
dcp is a command-line wrapper for 'docker cp' that simplifies copying files and directories between the host and Docker containers. It provides a more intuitive syntax and handles common edge cases, reducing the verbosity of the native Docker command. This tool streamlines the workflow for developers who frequently interact with container filesystems.

Key Features:

Simplified syntax for copying files to and from containers
Automatic container name resolution and validation
Supports both files and directories seamlessly
Reduces repetitive typing of long docker commands

Use Cases:

Quickly copying application logs from a container to the local machine for analysis
Deploying local configuration files into a running development container
Extracting build artifacts from a container after a successful compilation

Alternatives:

docker cp – The native Docker command is more verbose but requires no additional tools.
docker-volume-sshfs – Provides live mounting of host directories, whereas dcp is for one-off transfers.
