Infinite Copy Loop

gistfile1.txt

// Not really an infinite loop as the system exits the process eventually, caused by the name being too long.
// This is what I did:

macbook:~ $ mkdir /var/www/directory/
macbook:~ $ cp -R [bunch of files/directories] /var/www/directory/
macbook:~ $ cd /var/www/directory

// at this point I forgot to create a subdirectory I wanted these files to be in, inside the directory I just created.

macbook:directory/ $ mkdir /var/www/directory/example/
macbook:directory/ $ cp -R * example/

// ...queue infinite loop. haha
