How do I copy a templated folder only?

[ferreteleco]

Hi! I'm testing the "exclude functionality of copier to copy a single file or folder, as told in Copier Documentation:

copier copy --exclude '*' --exclude '!file-i-want' ./template ./destination

So far im using a simple demonstration template:

And the related copier.yml:

project_name:
type: str
help: What is the project name?
placeholder: demo_project
_min_copier_version: "9.3.1"
_answers_file: .copier-answers.python-project.yml
_subdirectory: template

Trying to copy only the file `script.py' is all good with the following:

copier copy --exclude '*' --exclude '!script.py' . ./demo

But I cant get it to work to copy only init.py (inside {{project_name}}) or {{project_name}} itself. It does not fail, but gives zero information and does not copy anything. Any tip or hint?

Thanks in advance!
