To force overwrite files when copying in the terminal, you can use the -f option with the cp command. The syntax is:
cp -f source_file destination_directory/
For example, to copy example.txt to backup/ and overwrite any existing file with the same name, you would use:
cp -f example.txt backup/
This command will replace the existing file without prompting for confirmation. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
