💖 NAME 💖

Test::Smoke::Syncer::Hardlink — no cap, she's the one who does your syncing by hardlinking instead of copying, bestie 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: you need to sync stuff, right? This module handles syncing by copying the source-tree from a local directory using the link function 🦋. Literally the link function. Iconic.

The way that this can be used as an alternative for make distclean?? obsessed. genuinely.

And shoutout to Nicholas Clark for donating this suggestion! 🎀 thank you king, we love you, fr fr 💜

🌸 METHODS 🌸

Constructor vibes. Here's what goes in %args, and yes you need to know all of them:

  • ddir — destination directory. where the hardlink forest is gonna live, periodt.
  • hdir — source directory. the place you're pulling from.
  • v — verbose. because sometimes you wanna see the receipts. 👀

⭐ $syncer->sync( )

sync() uses the File::Find module to make the hardlink forest in {ddir}. 🌈 that's the whole job. she finds, she links, she slays. no notes. 👑
