        { src: './node_modules/vite/dist', dest: 'dist/cp/test', flatten: true },

        { src: './node_modules/vite/**/*.ts', dest: 'dist/cp/types' },

        // Copy all .ts files from 'node_modules/vite' to 'dist/cp/types2', but modify the name
        {
          src: './node_modules/vite/**/*.ts', dest: 'dist/cp/types2', rename(name) {
            return name.replace('.d.ts', '.ts');
