When I execute

npx cpy-cli .\test.json foo\ --no-overwrite

it returns the error

Cannot copy from `test.json` to `d:\temp\foo\test.json`: 
Cannot write to `d:\temp\foo\test.json`: EEXIST: file already exists, open 'd:\temp\foo\test.json'

Issuing the command without --no-overwrite works fine (but the file is overwritten)

Expected

when setting the --no-overwrite parameter it should continue without error even if the file exists.

My Misunderstanding of purpose?

I found the test for cpy, it appears it is expected that overwrite:false will throw an exception? If so is there any way to 'skip/ignore' existing files similar to how the non async approach appears to work?

test('do not overwrite', async t => {
	fs.mkdirSync(t.context.tmp);
	fs.writeFileSync(path.join(t.context.tmp, 'license'), '');

	await t.throwsAsync(cpy(['license'], t.context.tmp, {overwrite: false}));

	t.is(read(t.context.tmp, 'license'), '');
});

EDIT: reading cp-file code, if I understand async copy overwrite false will throw an exception, but sync copy overwrite will not. If that is correct, then this was just a misunderstanding, please close the issue.
