#' Copy MAGMA gene mapping files to new folder
#' 
#' Copy SNPs-to-genes mapping files (\emph{.genes.out}) produced by 
#' \link[MAGMA.Celltyping]{map_snps_to_genes} to a new folder. 
#' Importantly, this function maintains the file naming and folder structure 
#' conventions necessary to run other downstream 
#' \pkg{MAGMA.Celltyping} functions.
#' 
#' @param gene_files Full paths to gene mapping mapping files.
#' @param save_dir Where to save the gene mapping files to.
#' @param overwrite Whether to overwrite gene mapping files that already
#'  exist in \code{save_dir} (Default: \code{FALSE}).
#' 
#' @return Named character list
#' 
#' @keywords internal
