bash copy the first file form source folder to destination folder

Question

I am using mac os. I am in a situation that I need to copy the only first file private key which ends with _sk to another directory. Please any suggestion would help me.

Answer 1

You could loop over the files ending with _sk and break the loop after copying the first file. If that's really the "first file" you wanted to copy is another question.

for i in /path/to/source/*_sk; do cp "$i" /path/to/destination/; break; done
