Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on the local file system or cloud storage.

I’m using it to replace rsync, because fuck that program.

Usage ∞

Sync from a to b ∞

Given two directories:

./a
./b

Make b the same as a:

• Copy all nonexistent files from a to b.
• Overwrite files on b which are different than a, e.g. changed files.

• Delete files on b which are not on a.

rclone sync --dry-run -P a b

You can specify paths in unsurprising ways, like ../a
