DirectSync
A simple and fast utility to compare/synchronize/mirror folder contents, completely free and open-sourceTM!
Demo
Usage:
directsync [-h] [-add] [-rm] [-ovr] [-mirr] [-trash] [-cache]
[-latest] [-dry] [-no-bar]
src-path dst-path
positional arguments:
src-path The path of the source directory.
dst-path The path of the destination directory.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-add, --add-missing Copy files from source which are absent in
destination.
-rm, --remove-extra Remove the files from destination which are absent in
source.
-ovr, --overwrite-content
Overwrite the files having same name but different
content.
-mirr, --mirror-contents
Make the destination directory exactly same as the
source. Shorthand for `-add -rm -ovr`.
-trash, --use-trash Send to trash/recycle bin while deleting/overwriting.
-cache, --use-cache Whether to use previously cached comparison-check
result from disk.
-latest, --preserve-latest
Whether to use the last modified time while
comparing files with different content.
-dry, --dry-run Just simulate and report the file operations that will
be performed with the current configuration.
-no-bar, --hide-progress-bar
Whether to hide the progress bar or not. Will result
in a huge speedup iff the 2 directories are structured
very differently.
Installation:
- Install Python 3 (>=3.5)
pip install directsync

option to let the user ignore certain files based on the regex pattern provided. - Add test cases.
- Add code coverage.
- Setup
tox
andTravis CI
. - Add coloured output.
- Handle nested structures with symlinks.
- Provide direct interface with online storage services.
- Add developer guidelines.
- Explore parallel processing.
- Add benchmarks.
