The process for using kubectl cp to overwrite a directory is as follows:
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to copy files.
Use the kubectl cp command with the --archive flag to copy the directory from the Kubernetes cluster to your local machine. For example:
kubectl cp <namespace>/<pod-name>:/path/to/directory . --archive
Make changes to the files in the local directory.
Use the kubectl cp command again to overwrite the directory in the Kubernetes cluster with the updated files. Use the --force flag to avoid confirmation prompts. For example:
kubectl cp . <namespace>/<pod-name>:/path/to/directory --archive --force
