☁️ easyclone
easyclone is a lightweight, configurable CLI tool that wraps rclone to behave more like Google's Backup and Sync app.
You define what to back up, where to back it up, and EasyClone handles the syncs and copies — clean, fast, and reliable.
Features
- Sync & Copy support per-path
- Backup multiple paths at once
- Human-friendly TOML config
- IPC-ready architecture for future GUI or monitoring tools
- Optional verbose logging
Installation
Install it with pip or pipx:
pip install easyclone
pipx install easyclone
Configuration
The config file is at ~/.config/easyclone/config.toml

sync_paths - Copy the paths in

remote_nameandroot_dirto target your cloud storage
Contributing
PRs welcome. Bug reports even more welcome.
FAQ
Why does it create the folders first?
Because services like Google Drive support multiple folders with the same name in the same directory. So when you try to concurrently backup paths from the same directory, it will create the parent directory more than once, and we don't want that.
License
GPLv3 — do whatever you want, just don't blame me if you sync your / folder to the cloud :)
