How to copy file/folder excluding certain files in MaC/Linux

CP command does not provide option to exclude files.

As an alternate option, we can user rsync which also faster than cp.

for example : To exclude hidden files following can be used.

rsync -r sourcePath targetPath --exclude='.*

Similarly other option can also be explored with  -help.
