proffapt / gsync Goto Github PK

Note I have lost interest in bash at this point of time, been doing this too much that it has become toxic for my health and career, so this project is being discontinued from my side. And, this project was a fun project - rather use cronjobs to achieve what it was doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It won't have all the logs and service like features but those aren't needed anyways, if they are anyhow then you always have this tool available right here.

Automate the unique process(by me) for syncing your configuration from your local machine to github.

GSYNC is a tool for those who like to sync their configuration files in real-time to github, so how does it exactly do that? Read the code for detailed understanding.. from v1.2.1 it can be managed as if it is a kind of a service and has beautiful logs for every folder being monitored

TIP: Use it as a editor alias to open your fav editor and create your configuration file, it will do the job of syncing it to your github and automate this process for future use after you are done editing it.

• Suppose you wanna sync your .bashrc in ~/, you will have to git init your ~/ which will show everywhere (main) in your terminal and might clash with your sub directories which are some local git projects, so yeah just move it somewhere else.. link that to original location and sync the file now

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

You will need to install the following dependencies for the project to work.

• fswatch for macOS; inotify-tools for GNU+Linux
• coreutils
• git

  git config pull.rebase true
  git config credential.helper store

• gh
  • Installation
    • OSX
    • Linux
  • Configuration

  gh auth login
  gh auth refresh -h github.com -s delete_repo

Now since we are done with the setting up of environment suitable for the project to compile/run, let's install and configure the project on your system locally now.

1. Clone the repo.
2. Make the script executable.
3. Add suitable alias for it.

   git clone https://github.com/proffapt/gsync.git
   cd ./gsync
   chmod +x ./gsync
   echo "alias gsync='$PWD/gsync'"

4. Add the echoed line to your shell config file.
5. Finally, source your config file

(back to top)

1. Execute the help menu for script

   gsync

2. Use cases for the script are as follows:

• Create mode

  gsync create -c ~/config.file  -g ~/configs

• Delete mode

  gsync delete -c ~/config.file  -g ~/configs

• Default mode

  gsync default -g ~/configs
  gsync create -c ~/config.file
  gsync delete -c ~/config.file

• Logs management

  gsync clear-logs -g ~/configs
  gsync clear-logs -g configs
  gsync clear-logs -g all
  gsync logs -g ~/configs
  gsync logs -g configs
  gsync logs

• Service management

  gsync start
  gsync selective-start
  gsync stop
  gsync selective-stop
  gsync restart
  gsync status
  gsync enable
  gsync disable

• [BONUS] Folder Syncing :)

  gsync create -c ~/random.file -g ~/folder_to_sync
  rm ~/folder_to_sync/random.file ~/random.file

3. Now if you used create mode, edit your configuration file(config.file here), the syncscript will do it's job and sync the configuration file to specified github repo.
