Synchronize two folders: source and replica. Keep a full, identical copy of source folder at replica folder.
- python>=3.9
- python-crontab ( if you want to use cronjobs instead of using the while cycle)
# 1.
conda create -n myenv python=3.9 -y
conda activate myenv
# 2.1.
# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/AndreGraca98/folder-sync.git
pip install python-crontab
python setup.py install
# OR
# 2.2.
# Install package
pip install git+https://github.com/AndreGraca98/folder-sync.git

# If $HOME/bin/ is not in the $PATH add it in the ~/.bashrc and reload terminal
printf "export "PATH="\$HOME/bin:\$PATH\n\n\n" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc❗IMPORTANT❗: After setup it is possible to use this tool as a command instead of calling python. Use sync-folders ... from anywhere in the system instead of python main.py ...

Sync interval in cron format. Defaults to @hourly.
-d, --dry-run Dry run the syncronization- Synchronization must be one-way: after the synchronization content of the replica folder should be modified to exactly match content of the source folder
- Synchronization should be performed periodically
- File creation/copying/removal operations should be logged to a file and to the console output
- Folder paths, synchronization interval and log file path should be provided using the command line arguments
- It is undesirable to use third-party libraries that implement folder synchronization
- It is allowed (and recommended) to use external libraries implementing other well-known algorithms. For example, there is no point in implementing yet another function that calculates MD5 if you need it for the task – it is perfectly acceptable to use a third-party (or built-in) library
