Hookline

A simple wrapper for managing lsyncd instances. Hookline is useful for developers who usually modify code in a working copy for some version control system but push to a centalized server for testing, scheduled builds, or continuous integration.

It is important to note that unlike traditional SFTP, this will sync regularly and consistently to your development environment. This is an ideal solution for those who may normally mount and work directly on SFTP, but cannot or would not want the remote copy to also be their working copy.

Requirements

• lsyncd
• rsync
• sudo (for install) or cp ./hookline/hookline.sh /usr/bin/hookline as root
• standard GNU utilities

Installation

git clone https://github.com/dotink/hookline.git
./hookline/hookline.sh install

Usage

Adding a syncer:

hookline add <alias> <source> <test>

hookline add dev.example.com /home/user/code/example.com user@example.com:/var/www/example.com/dev

Deleting a syncer:

hookline del <alias>

hookline del dev.example.com

Viewing the status:

hookline stat

Starting a syncer:

hookline start <alias>

hookline start dev.example.com

Stopping a syncer:

hookline stop <alias>
