For keeping remote user configurations in sync with local configurations

Sync Remote Configs (beta)

A tool to keep your remote users in sync with your local configurations for things like vim and git.

Very beta.. I really just made it for me so don't be surprised if the tool frustates you.

1. Install or updated by running this

   wget -O /usr/local/bin/sync-remote-configs https://github.com/chiedo/sync-remote-configs/raw/master/sync-remote-configs?date=$(date +%s) && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sync-remote-configs

2. Create a ~/.sync-remote-configs/destinations file in the repo

   • Each line must be in username@domain format
   • You must have SSH access to each server via a public key.
   • These will be the servers that are getting updated.

3. Create a ~/.sync-remote-configs/exclusions file in the repo.

   • Each line is a relative file path such as .git/*
   • This will be a list of file paths to ignore.

4. Create a ~/.sync-remote-configs/sources file in the repo.

   • Each line is an absolute path to a directory you want synced with each destination. For now it's only been tested with directories in user home directories. Should work with other absolute file paths in theory.
   • This will be each directory that you intend to sync with your remote servers.

5. Run sync-remote-configs

Development

• Test by making changes to main.go and running go run main.go
