A lightweight, flexible tool for synchronizing files between directories and git repositories. Syng automates the process of monitoring directories for changes and committing them to a git repository, with configurable behaviors for committing, pushing, and pulling changes.
- Bi-directional sync between directories and git repositories
- Per-file or batch commit options
- Automatic pull capabilities to stay in sync with remote changes
- Optional push on commit for immediate synchronization
- Support for nested directory structures
- Non-invasive monitoring with low CPU usage
nix run github:willyrgf/syng -- --source_dir /path/to/source --git_dir /path/to/repo [options]
Syng is packaged using Nix flakes:
nix profile install github:willyrgf/syng
syng --help
--source_dir: Source directory to monitor for new files--git_dir: Git repository directory--commit-push: Commit and push new files to remote repository--auto-pull: Automatically pull changes from remote repository--per-file: Create a separate commit for each new file
# Monitor a directory and sync changes to a git repository, committing and pushing each file separately
nix run .#syng -- --source_dir /path/to/data --git_dir /path/to/repo --commit-push --auto-pull --per-file
# Use the same directory for both source and git repository
nix run .#syng -- --source_dir /path/to/repo --git_dir /path/to/repo --commit-push --auto-pull
