Auto-sync files or directories over SSH using fs.watch().
Comes with a nifty tool sshpair that generates a public SSH key with
echo -e "y\n" | ssh-keygen -q -N "" -f ~/.ssh/sshyncand writes the result to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host. This prevents the password prompt from showing up every time we sync.
Ignore paths by adding them, one per line, to a file named .sshyncignore in the provided source folder.
$ npm install sshync -g# generate a public SSH key (so we don't have to retype password)
# write to user@ip:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ sshpair <user@ip[:port]>
# initialize file auto-sync
$ sshync <user@ip[:port]> <source> <destination>
source: local source folder.
destination: remote destination folder.$ git clone https://github.com/mateogianolio/sshync.git
