This function is a wrapper around fs::file_copy(), with the modification that,
if a file exists at the new_path the user will be prompted to overwrite it.
file_copy(path, new_path)
| path | A character string of the file path to be copied. |
|---|---|
| new_path | A character string of the path where the file should be copied to. |
The new path (invisibly) if the file is copied. Nothing otherwise.
