syncws

A command line util to live-sync your local directory to remote server

Installation

1. Make sure you have the following utils installed: git, rsync, fswatch.
2. Add execution permissions to the script file: chmod +x ./syncws.sh
3. Copy syncws.sh to your path directory, for example cp ./syncws.sh /usr/local/bin/syncws

Usage

Prerequisites:

• Make sure your working directory is a Git repository (the tool uses .gitignore file to determine which files should be synced).
• Make sure you have set up SSH keys to the remote server, so that you can login via SSH without a password (see the instruction here).

Usage:

syncws [user]@[host-or-ip]:[remote-dir]

Example:

syncws user@127.0.0.1:/tmp/mydir

The content of your current working directory (except files excluded in .gitignore file) will be synced to the directory on provided host.
