bincsync

bincsync is a tool to incrementally sync binary file distributions (as well as creating them for upload). This tool is initially implemented for syncing large genomic data files that changes little between versions, but have great individual file size.

bincsync currently support the database version control from Alibaba Cloud object storage service (OSS). You should register an account for Alibaba OSS to authenticate yourself to download from private repositories.

This utility suite will provide a commandline interface bsync-fetch. It also provides bsync-make and bsync-push for database maintainers to publish databases that can be downloaded and managed with the fetch utility.
