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.

1	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.

if (interactive()) {
  # Create a test file
  jdtools::file_new_text("test-file_copy", open = FALSE)

  # Copy the file with no problem
  jdtools::file_copy(path = "test-file_copy.txt",
                     new_path = "test-file_copy-2.txt")
  # Upon repeating, this will prompt the user whether or nott
  # test-file_copy-2.txt should be overwritten.
  jdtools::file_copy(path = "test-file_copy.txt",
                     new_path = "test-file_copy-2.txt")

  # A copied file can be piped into `jdtools::file_open()`
  jdtools::file_copy(path = "test-file_copy.txt",
                     new_path = "test-file_copy-3.txt") %>%
    jdtools::file_open()
