🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

these are the real ones, copy them exactly bestie, character for character:

sudo -u hipercontracer hpct-sync --nodeid 1000 --local
        /var/hipercontracer --remote /var/hipercontracer --collector
        sognsvann.example --key /var/hipercontracer/ssh/id_ed25519
        --known-hosts /var/hipercontracer/ssh/known_hosts --verbose

sudo -u hipercontracer hpct-sync --nodeid 1 --local /var/hipercontracer
        --remote /var/hipercontracer --collector sognsvann.example --key
        /var/hipercontracer/ssh/id_ed25519 --known-hosts
        /var/hipercontracer/ssh/known_hosts --quiet

sudo -u hipercontracer hpct-sync --nodeid 2 --collector
        sognsvann.example

hpct-sync --version

hpct-sync -h

note that first one is at node 1000 being loud about it, second is node 1 staying quiet, third is node 2 keeping it minimal. main character energy, all three 🌈
