This is how I copy the folder src from source to workspace destination – replacing the content if already existing:

def copy_and_replace(directory):
    target = os.path.join('workspace', directory, 'src')
    source = os.path.join('..', 'source', directory, 'src')
    try:
        if os.path.isdir(target):
            shutil.rmtree(target)
            print(f"Directory removed successfully: {target}")
        shutil.copytree(source, target)
        print(f"Directory copied successfully: {target}")

    except OSError as o:
        print(f"Error, {o.strerror}: {directory}")

Now I would like to define two more folders, which should also be copied if existing. Of course I could do this like this:

def copy_and_replace(directory):
    targetSrc = os.path.join('workspace', directory, 'src')
    sourceSrc = os.path.join('..', 'source', directory, 'src')
    targetPbl = os.path.join('workspace', directory, 'public')
    sourcePbl = os.path.join('..', 'source', directory, 'public')
    try:
        if os.path.isdir(targetSrc): # src folder is always existing
            shutil.rmtree(targetSrc)
            print(f"Directory removed successfully: {targetSrc}")
        shutil.copytree(sourceSrc, targetSrc)
        print(f"Directory copied successfully: {targetSrc}")

        if os.path.isdir(sourcePbl): # Check if public folder is existing in source
            if os.path.isdir(targetPbl):
                shutil.rmtree(targetPbl)
                print(f"Directory removed successfully: {targetPbl}")
            shutil.copytree(sourcePbl, targetPbl)
            print(f"Directory copied successfully: {targetPbl}")

        # do this last part for multiple folder like `specs`, `assets` and so on

    except OSError as o:
        print(f"Error, {o.strerror}: {directory}")

Is it possible to use a list of folder names and iterate over those items to check of folder is existing in source, and if it is exsting to copy it to target workspace?
