something similar to shutil.copytree that can overwrite?

copytree does not skip existing files
if will overwrite said files
I just missed the makedirs call at the start
the failed makedirs call will cause the copytree function to exit
completely
thus you do not get your files updated
but with the if exists check, your files should get overwritten
