[GRASS-user] Copy an existing location

[Bartolomei.Chris]

I would create a new mapset (in the same "location") then use g.copy (or the gui) to copy the rasters from PERMANENT to the new mapset.
You can then pack the mapset directory (folder) (".tar" or ".gz" or ".zip") and send it to the other user - they should have the same "location" you do, have them create a new mapset the same as the one you created, then they can unpack (extract) the folder contents into the mapset location overwriting the defaults.  That should work...

Subject: [GRASS-user] Copy an existing location

Hello GRASS community,
Does anyone have advice on duplicating an existing GRASS location with only certain rasters maps?
For example, I have an existing GRASS location with a PERMANENT mapset that contains 100 maps. I want to create a copy of this existing location (with it's current projection) to a new location, which will only contain 10 of the rater maps from the existing location.
I want to be able to transfer a new 'cleaned-up' version of my GRASS location to another user.
thank you,
Janet
