code-sync 0.3.0

Sync code to a remote machine

code_sync

code_sync auto-syncs your code changes in a local directory to a remote machine, so that you can edit your code in your local editor and instantly run those change on a remote machine.

Under the hood, code_sync is running an rsync command whenever watchdog notices changes to the code.

Installation

pip install code_sync

After installing this package, the code_sync tool will be available from the command line.

Usage

Register a project

code_sync --register <project>

This will prompt you to enter the local directory to sync, the remote machines to sync to, and the destination path on the remote to sync the files to.

Once you register a project with code_sync, it will remember that configuration.

code_sync a registered project

code_sync <project>

This command will use the configuration you set for the project when you registered it.

List all projects registered to code_sync

code_sync --list

Run code_sync with specific parameters

code_sync --local_dir <mylocaldir/> --remote_dir <myremotedir/> --target <ssh_remote> --port 2222\n

Edit or delete a registered project

code_sync --edit <project>
code_sync --delete <project>

Notes

Starting

• In order to run code_sync, you must have an ssh connection open in another window. Once you've entered your password there, code_sync uses that connection.
• The destination dir must exist already, but need not be empty.

Stopping

• You can safely quit code_sync with control-c.

About code_sync + git

• code_sync does not sync files that are excluded by .gitignore, if present in the local directory. It also does not sync .git and .ipynb files.
• The destination directory should not be treated as an active git repo.
• Do not run git commands from the destination terminal on the destination directory. The destination dir will have its contents synced to exactly match the local dir, including when you checkout a different branch on local.
