rsyncmon watches your directory for changes and automatically rsyncs to destination

Rationale

I ran into situations where I need to test my code in test environments separate from my development environment. Having to constantly deploy to test environment is very tedious. This tool will automatically sync from your source directory to the destination directory whenever changes are detected, so it's always ready for you.

Note: it relies on shell rsync command, so would work on Linux and Mac, but may not work on Windows without rsync installed

What it does

• it watches your source directory
• whenever you modify your code, it rsyncs the changes over to destination
• you can run test in the destination right away

How to Use

• Install globally with npm install -g rsyncmon
• cd to the directory you want to watch
• run rsyncmon init to create the sample rsyncmon.json file
• modify the rsyncmon.json file with proper information
• run rsyncmon once to run the sync once, if desired
• run rsyncmon watch to start the automatic sync process

Features

• Uses chokidar, which should handle most OS specific idiosyncrasies
