arsync.nvim

arsync.nvim is a Neovim plugin designed to handle asynchronous file synchronization between local and remote hosts using rsync or sftp. It provides a seamless way to sync files or entire projects with remote servers, making it ideal for developers working in remote environments.

Features

• Asynchronous File Synchronization: Sync files or entire projects asynchronously using rsync or sftp.
• Customizable Configuration: Define sync behavior using a .arsync configuration file.
• Automatic Sync on Save: Automatically sync files to the remote server on save.
• Interactive Notifications: Get real-time notifications with progress animations during sync operations.
• Toggle Sync: Easily enable or disable sync operations with a single command.
• Multiple Backends: Supports both rsync and sftp backends for file synchronization.

Installation

You can install arsync.nvim using your favorite plugin manager. For example, with lazy.nvim:

return {
  "https://github.com/MayDomine/arsync.nvim.git",
  build = ":UpdateRemotePlugins",
  event = "BufWritePost",

  dependencies = {
    "folke/snacks.nvim",
    "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp" -- [optional] provide `arsync` source for nvim-cmp
  },
  config = function()
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ar", "<cmd>ARSyncProj<CR>", { desc = "ARSyncUpProj To Remote" })
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>as", "<cmd>ARSyncShow<CR>", { desc = "ARSyncShow" })
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ad", "<cmd>ARSyncDownProj<CR>", { desc = "ARSyncDownProj From Remote" })
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ac", "<cmd>ARCreate<CR>", { desc = "ARSyncUp Config Create" })
    require("arsync").setup()
  end,
}

Note: Now you can enable arsync source for nvim-cmp, it would provide completions for all local_path and global_path from your global conf file, which is quite useful. Hope you would enjoy this ❤️.

Configuration

.arsync Configuration File

Create a .arsync file in your project root to configure the sync behavior. Here's an example configuration: You can just use :ARCreate to generate a .arsync file in your project root.

auto_sync_up 0
local_options -var
local_path /Users/tachicoma/.local/share/nvim/lazy/arsync.nvim
remote_host unknown
remote_options -var
remote_or_local remote
remote_path unknown
remote_port 0
rsync_flags ["--max-size=100m"]

Key Configuration Options

• remote_host: The remote host to sync with.
• remote_user: The username for the remote host.
• remote_port: The SSH port for the remote host (default: 22).
• remote_path: The path on the remote host to sync with.
• local_path: The local path to sync.
• backend: The backend to use (rsync or sftp).
• auto_sync_up: Automatically sync files to the remote server on save (1 for enabled, 0 for disabled).
• rsync_flags: Additional flags to pass to the rsync command.
• transmit_deltas: Whether to transmit only file deltas (default: false).

   • Edit the .arsync file to specify your remote host, paths, and other settings.

2. Sync Files:

   • Use :ARSync to sync the current file to the remote server.
   • Use :ARSyncProj to sync the entire project.

3. Sync from Remote:

   • Use :ARSyncDown to sync the current file from the remote server.
   • Use :ARSyncDownProj to sync the entire project from the remote server.
