rsync is where I first encountered it. I've made it a habit to always do a dry run first as a sanity check and it has saved me some headaches.

- renewiltord 5y agorsync has a plan mode? I had no idea.
- joh6nn 5y ago-n or --dry-run. Rsync has a TON of features, it is worth the time to thoroughly read the man page at least once
- renewiltord 5y agoRight, but `--dry-run` is just a dry run mode, right? You have to sort of post-process it to create a plan. I feel like the context for this comment thread was lost. Just to repeat it to forestall any further discussion in this subthread on non-plan dry-run, this is how I saw it: * Igor: a good way to do dry run is to make plan * * Me: first time i have seen 'plan' as explicit step for dry-run is with Terraform * * * fickle: rsync is where i first encounter it [it here is not plan, it is dry-run] * * * * me: really? rsync has 'plan'? * * * * * john: rsync has dry-run. read manpage i.e. Igor and I are talking about explicit plan (which is interesting model) and you guys are talking about dry-run.
