I tried to use iCloud drive to host my code folder as an instant backup. It
didn't go so great, I found a process (bird) that was constantly working my
processor. After more investigation, I found it had problems with node_modules
and .git folders. I looked to see if I could simply ignore the trouble
folders, but couldn't find any support for that.
Use rsync to filter out the unwanted files and folders.
My main code folder is located in $HOME/Code. I then rsyc the $HOME/Code folder (without the unwanted files and folders) to "${HOME}/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Code/"
Clone this repo and execute $ ./bootstrap.sh
