Images are corrupted during local testing #853

Description

steps

  1. Set up a local g8 test project.
  2. Include an image.
  3. Run the local test process to generate a project from your template.
  4. Try and view the image.

When trying to view the image: I couldn't preview it in VSCode and it wouldn't load in a browser.

sbt or Giter8 version: 0.16.2

problem

My initial guess was that the file was being treated as a text file and pushed through the templating engine, however, this ancient issue suggests that shouldn't be the case.

My second guess is that the transfer process is somehow mangling the data, but I haven't looked at what's really going on there so it is just a guess.

expectation

I think that binary files should be correctly recognised and transferred 'as-is'.

notes

This is my g8 template: https://github.com/PurpleKingdomGames/indigo.g8

This is the image I was trying to include:

This is the location I was putting it in:
