Laravel Sync

This package provides a git-like artisan command to easily sync files and folders between environments. This is super useful for assets, documents, and any other files that are untracked in your git repository.

Laravel Sync is a no-brainer and the perfect companion for your deploy script. The days are over when you had to manually keep track of files and folders between your environments. Do yourself a favor and give it a try!

Requirements

rsync on both your source and destination machine
A working SSH setup between your source and destination machine

    'remotes' => [

];

Configuration

To use this package, you have to define at least one remote and recipe.

Remotes

Each remote consists of a user, host, and root. Optionally, you may also define the SSH port and make a remote read_only.

'remotes' => [

    'production' => [
        'user' => 'forge',
        'host' => '104.26.3.113',
        'port' => 1431,
        'root' => '/home/forge/statamic.com',
        'read_only' => env('SYNC_PRODUCTION', true),
    ],

],

The read_only option comes in handy if you want to prevent pushing to a remote from a certain environment, e.g. pushing to production from your local environment.

Recipes

Add any number of recipes with the paths you want to sync. Each recipe is an array of paths relative to your project's root.

'recipes' => [
    'assets' => ['storage/app/assets/', 'storage/app/img/'],
    'env' => ['.env'],
],

Options

Configure the default rsync options to use when performing a sync. You can override these options when executing the command.

'options' => [
    '--archive',
],
