rusync

Minimalist rsync clone implemented in Rust.

Caveat

We do everything we can to make sure data loss is impossible, but despite our best efforts, it may still happen.

Please make sure your files files are backed up if necessary before using rusync on sensitive data.

Thank you for your understanding!

$ cargo install rusync
$ rusync test/src test/dest

Easy to remember command line syntax
Print progress on one line, and erase it when done, thus avoiding flooding your terminal with useless noise.
Displays a reliable ETA, without sacrificing speed.
Un-surprising behavior: missing directories are created on the fly, files are only copied if:
- Destination is missing
- Older than the source
- Or size is different

There are tons of stuff in rsync we don't implement.

But for me, the goal was to learn more about Rust and I've learned plenty of things already.

The big missing feature is an option to delete extraneous files. Maybe I'll start working on it one day.

Some people have asked for transfer over ssh. Not sure if that can be easily done. Maybe try using rusync normally on top of sshfs?

For the rest, well, patches are welcome!
