✨ smd-pull(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the <code>smd-pull</code> page of the Sync Mail Dir (smd) manual πŸ’– this one's a whole vibe and it's gonna change your maildir life, no cap.


🌸 NAME 🌸

smd-pull β€” syncs the local mail dir letting the remote one untouched 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

smd-pull [-d|--dry-run] [-v|--verbose] [-s|--show-tags] [-t|--template-only]
         [-n|--no-delete] [endpoint]

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

So here's the tea, bestie: smd-pull does literally all the changes that got done on the remote maildir, and it does them to your local maildir. It's giving "catch me up to speed" energy. πŸ‘‘

The remote maildir stays completely untouched. Not a single hair on its head disturbed. If you wanna be the one pushing changes to the remote, that's a whole different function, and you want smd-push(1) for that. Periodt.

Also, if you're sitting there like "wait, how do I even configure this thing" β€” go read smd-config(5) for the configuration file format, it's got the whole layout. ✨


πŸ¦‹ OPTIONS πŸ¦‹

  • -v, --verbose β€” verbose output, so it actually tells you what it's doing instead of being mysterious and silent πŸ™ˆ
  • -s, --show-tags β€” machine readable output πŸ–₯️ lowkey perfect if you've got a script that wants to parse things
  • -d, --dry-run β€” do not perform any action for real 🫣 it's a lil rehearsal, a vibe check, a "what would happen" moment
  • -n, --no-delete β€” do not propagate deletions πŸ’€ nothing gets yeeted, the deletions stay home
  • -t, --template-only β€” just create a template configuration file if none exists πŸŽ€ that's it, that's the whole job
  • endpoint β€” this is the suffix for the name of the configuration file to use. If you leave it out, then the config file ~/.smd/config.default gets used 🫢
