rsync

Efficiently synchronise files and directories locally or over SSH with delta transfer, checksum verification, and fine-grained exclusion control.

Quick Start

1. Verify availability: rsync --version
2. Dry-run a local sync: rsync -avn src/ dest/
3. Live sync: rsync -av src/ dest/

Intent Router

• references/cheatsheet.md — Common flags, local and remote sync, dry-run, exclusions, and progress output
• references/advanced-usage.md — Archive mode, checksums, bandwidth limits, partial transfers, hardlinks, and daemon mode
• references/troubleshooting.md — Trailing slash pitfalls, SSH key setup, permission errors, and interrupted transfer recovery
