wer copy
Copy a resource, creating a duplicate with a new name.
Usage
wer copy <type> <name> [flags]Description
The copy command duplicates an existing resource under a new name. The
original resource is fetched, its metadata is cleaned (timestamps, version, and status are
removed), and a new name is assigned.
By default, the copy is opened in your editor for modification before being applied. Use
--no-edit to skip the editor and apply immediately. If --name is
not specified, a unique name is generated automatically (e.g., my-vm-copy,
my-vm-copy1, etc.).
