Allow cloning projects - Githubissues

lrasmus commented 3 years ago

Allow users to clone a project directory into another directory. This should work similar to the template feature.

Expected behavior:

You have a directory with a collection of files and folders
In StatWrap, you click "+ next to "Projects" from the main screen
From the list of options you select "Clone Directory"
StatWrap asks you to configure:
1. The project root directory to clone (similar UI as "Existing Directory") - for the example let's say this is C:\Projects\Project1
2. The project name (e.g., "Project2") and base directory to clone into (similar UI as "New Project") - let's say C:\Projects
When you click "Create Project", StatWrap should (using the example configuration from 4)
1. Create C:\Projects\Project2
2. Within C:\Projects\Project2, create copies of all folders in Project1. Note that this is only the folder structure. None of the files in Project1 should be copied over. The exception is that any (per *nix standard) 'hidden' folders - those prefixed with a period - should not be be copied. For example, .statwrap configuration folder and .git should NOT be copied over (if they exist).
3. Establish the .statwrap configuration folder and corresponding configuration files

In our example, if we have: C:\Projects\Project1, with files/folders:

Then C:\Projects\Project2, at the end of the clone operation, should contain:

.statwrap This is a newly established folder, not a copy of the one from Project1
