A simple tool to syncronize two directories with low latency. The initial version never runs `rsync --delete ...` as-is which causes this sync to usually not be complete. However, while the sync is active the deletes will be syncronized for all events that inotify-tools is able to detect. In practise, the current version of this tool may end up leaving some files not deleted in the target. If you feel brave, you can add `--delete` to every `rsync` in the script. Usage: rsync-continuous my/directory/to/sync example.com:path/to/target Will sync all files from directory `my/directory/to/sync` to remote server "example.com" using rsync over ssh to remote directory `path/to/target`. I created this tool to keep git repo and source files on local machine and automatically syncronize all files (including the git repo) to remote machine as soon as I modify any file. I previously used to use `sshfs` to mount remote directory locally but even with high bandwidth connection it's getting too slow for my liking. I'm used to get immediate response from git and with sshfs even `git status` takes a lot of time when the git repo I'm working with is big enough. In practice, I once do initial full rsync from remote working directory to local machine using rsync -av --delete example.com:path/to/target/ my/directory/to/sync and then start the above rsync-continuous and keep hacking with the local source. Note that you don't need to add a slash to the end of source directory like with rsync.
