How to move files from one to second directories on branch during Pipeline run? Gitlab - gitlab

Question

I have created Docs folder and it should contain report files.
I'm trying to move content from temporary created Allure folder to Docs folder and then copy everything from Docs to public folder to get access to Pages on which that Allure report will be located. I'm doing that process insted of simple copying files from allure folder to public folder to get history about previous runs. Maybe there is some better way to do it ? I'd like to store old reports for some X time (for example for 2 days, to be able to see on ALlure what was wrong is there are some problems) and then delete old ones, not deleting latest which have not reached "deleting point". So, here is my yml file:
stages:
- testing
- deploy
docker_job:
stage: testing
tags:
- docker
image: atools/chrome-headless:java11-node14-latest
before_script:
- npm ci
- npx playwright install
- npm install allure-commandline --save-dev
script: #||true
- npx playwright test
after_script:
- npx allure generate allure-results
rules:
- when: always
allow_failure: true
artifacts:
when: always
paths:
- ./allure-report
expire_in: 1 day
pages:
stage: deploy
script:
- mkdir public
- mv ./allure-report/* Docs
- cp -R ./Docs/* public
artifacts:
paths:
- public
rules:
- when: always
Everything is going good but it doesn't work - mv ./allure-report/* Docs
- cp -R ./Docs/* public are doing nothing or I just can't see any effect. Help me please to correctly solve that problem.
Maybe there is obvious holes in logic, idk, have tried a lot of variants but they all don't work.
Can it be done by my way at all?

okay, so I have done it with "logging in" with my git.conf email/name, then using auth token I did a push of these artifacts to Docs folder, looks like:
