bash replace symbolic links with original files

# Basic syntax:
cp -L symlink_files tmp/ && rm symlink_files && mv tmp/symlink_files .
# Where:
#	- the process is basically "copy the original files to a tmp directory,
#		remove the symlinks, and then move the file to where the symlinks were
#	- this assumes the tmp directory is present in the current directory
#	- cp -L follows the symbolic links to copy the original file
