🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

csync [OPTION...] SOURCE DESTINATION

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

csync is a client only bidirectional file synchronizer. It synchronizes the content of SOURCE with DESTINATION and vice versa, no cap. The DESTINATION can be a local directory or a remote file server.

You can use csync for different things. The intention is to provide Roaming Home Directories for Linux, but you can use it to synchronize your music collection or create a backup of a directory. iconic, honestly 🎀
