smd-push(1)

💖 smd-push — the smd-push(1) era 💖

ok bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about smd-push, a lil command from the Sync Mail Dir (smd) docs. it's giving "one-way street, and the street is the remote maildir." no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

smd-push — syncs the remote mail dir letting the local one untouched 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

look at her. all those flags. main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: smd-push performs in the remote maildir all the changes that were performed on the local one. the remote gets the glow-up. the local stays exactly as it is, unbothered, moisturized, in its lane. 😌

No changes are made on the local maildir. literally none. zero. if you wanted the local one to change too, that's a different command, bestie — use smd-pull(1) for that. 🔁

and if you're like "okay but where do I even configure this," refer to smd-config(5) for the configuration file format. that's your blueprint, your mood board, your config file lore. 📓✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -v, --verbose — verbose output 💬 she talks a LOT. every little thing, narrated.
• -s, --show-tags — machine readable output 🤖 for when a script is reading over your shoulder and needs the receipts in a format it can actually parse.
• -d, --dry-run — do not perform any action for real 🙈 a little rehearsal. a dress rehearsal. nothing actually happens, it's just the fantasy.
• -n, --no-delete — do not propagate deletions 🚫🗑️ deletions stay home. they do not travel. the remote keeps things you deleted locally, which is honestly very forgiving of it.
• -t, --template-only — just create a template configuration file if none 🎀 one job. creates the template config if there isn't one already, and that's it.
• endpoint — is the suffix for the name of the configuration file to use. 🔗 if it is omitted, the configuration file ~/.smd/config.default is used. so like, leave it out and she goes to the default. periodt.

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

the sacred texts, the places where the magic lives:

• ~/.smd/config.*
• ~/.smd/hooks/pre-push.d/
• ~/.smd/hooks/post-push.d/

hooks before AND after?? we love a command with a before-and-after routine. self-care. 🌸🧖

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

go read these next, they're all in the same friend group:

mddiff(1), smd-server(1), smd-client(1), smd-pull(1), smd-loop(1), smd-config(5)

iykyk. one of them is literally the reverse of this one, go find her. 👀

⚠️ reminder bestie: this pushes TO the remote and leaves your local maildir completely untouched. if you were hoping for a two-way situation, that's not this. check the SEE ALSO section, there's a pull command with your name on it. 💌
