Installation

-- packer.nvim
use {
    'OscarCreator/rsync.nvim',
    run = 'make',
    requires = {'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'},
    config = function()
        require("rsync").setup()
    end
}

{
    'OscarCreator/rsync.nvim',
    build = 'make',
    dependencies = 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
    config = function()
        require("rsync").setup()
    end,
}

Usage

rsync.nvim looks for .nvim/rsync.toml file by default in the root of your project. The path can also be set with the project_config_path key in the plugin configuration.

The current options available:

# this is the path to the remote. Can be either a local/remote filepath.
remote_path = "../copy/"
# or if using ssh
remote_path = "user@host:/home/user/path/"

# specifying a file(s) which should be synced "down" but are on ignore files.
# this is a workaround to sync down files which are included on ignore files.
remote_includes = "build.log"
# or using an array if multiple files are needed.
remote_includes = ["build.log", "build/generated.json"]

# specifying an gitignore file(s). Files matching patterns in ignore files are
# excluded from "SyncUp" and "SyncDown" except ones specified in `remote_includes`.
# For example, to exclude file(s) in the global gitignore and the project gitignore:
ignorefile_paths = ["~/.gitignore", ".gitignore"]

Commands

*: Files which are excluded are, everything in .gitignore and .nvim folder.

    -- the path to the project configuration
    project_config_path = ".nvim/rsync.toml",

    on_exit = function(code, command)
