booste looks nice, though i'm definitely not the target audience and usually take issues with developers not wanting to figure out why something they've build only works on their pc. it's usually because of subtle bugs and non-resilient software design, which is a bad idea to push to production... but this product thankfully does much more than enable that kind of behavior :)
but thats besides the point, i only wanted to nitpick a little:
> Main improvements over rsync: - .boosteignore. Just like a .gitignore, a .boosteignore helps filesync filter past bulky files that may not need to be monitored and uploaded every time. - end-to-end encryption
thats a verly little improvement over rsync, considering it already has a file-based blacklist feature as well and is usually used over ssh, which is also encrypted ;)
though it (to my knowledge) doesnt behave like a gitignore, so whitelisting files inside of a blacklist is afaik not possible.
alias rsy(){
if [ -f ~/.rsync_ignore ]; then
rsync --exclude-from="~/.rsync_ignore" $*
fi
rsync $*
}
- edunteman 7y agoGood to know on Rsync - my understanding was that it was unencrypted, which is true, but almost always is used in conjunction with SSH. You're right :) I'll definitely play around with this alias and see how it performs relative to .boosteignore
