cync 1.0.0

Local file synchronization tool

Cync

A blazing-fast, I/O-efficient Python tool for local file synchronization.

Cync is a fast and efficient local file synchronization tool.
It detects and syncs changes with minimal disk I/O, making updates faster and more resource-friendly.

🚀 Features

• Metadata-based comparison
  Compares file size and modification timestamps before falling back to byte-level comparison.

• Reduced disk I/O
  Skips files that haven't changed to avoid unnecessary reads/writes.

• Partial file copying
  Only modified byte ranges are transferred, not entire files.
