pi-sync
pi-sync keeps your pi agent config the same across hosts. It copies the
declarative parts of ~/.pi/agent to another machine over rsync, and it reads
your ssh config, so the aliases in ~/.ssh/config work as host names.
pi-sync tinfoil # copy config and extensions to tinfoil
pi-sync --config laptop # copy only models.json and settings.json
pi-sync --pull --all tinfoil # copy tinfoil's config back to this machine
pi-sync --dry-run --all a b # report what would change, without copying
pi-sync update # update pi-sync itself
install
pipx install pi-sync-cli
The PyPI package is pi-sync-cli, and it installs the pi-sync command.
uv tool install pi-sync-cli works the same way.
To install from source, run:
pipx install git+ssh://git@github.com/say4n/pi-sync
pi-sync requires Python 3.10 or later.
what syncs
pi-sync copies the declarative parts of the agent directory, and nothing else.
| group | what it copies |
|---|---|
--config |
models.json and settings.json |
--extensions |
the extensions/ directory |
--auth |
auth.json, which holds API keys. This group is opt-in, and pi-sync warns you before it copies secrets. |
--all copies --config and --extensions. It is the default when you pass no
group flag.
pi-sync leaves host-local state alone: sessions/, npm/, models-store.json,
ayu/, bin/, and trust.json stay where they are.
flags
| flag | effect |
|---|---|
--all, --config, --extensions, --auth |
set what pi-sync copies |
--pull |
copy from the host to this machine instead of the other way |
--delete |
make extensions/ match the source exactly, including deletions |
--dry-run |
report changes without copying anything |
-x, --exclude PATTERN |
skip files that match the pattern. Repeat the flag to add more patterns. |
--install |
install pi on hosts that do not have it, without prompting |
--uninstall |
remove pi from the host instead of copying config. Your config stays. |
--update-pi |
update pi on each host before copying config |
--local-dir |
set the local agent directory. The default is $PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR, or ~/.pi/agent. |
--remote-dir |
set the agent directory on the host. The default is ~/.pi/agent. |
-v, --verbose |
print each rsync command and its output |
To copy to more than one host, pass more than one name: pi-sync a b c. The
command exits with a non-zero status when it cannot copy to a host. Each file
pi-sync overwrites on the destination is kept beside the new one as
<name>.backup.
