isosceles

Remote Development Tool

Intro

isosceles is a tool built out of a desire to work locally in an environment set up for remote development. It's basically a wrapper for rsync that watches for file changes.

To set up projects, add an .isosceles file to your user folder on OS X. An example is located in the example_config.isosceles file in this repo and at the end of the README.

Features

• Watches an entire directory recursively for changes that match a specific pattern
• Kicks off an rsync when a trigger is detected.
• Pools triggers that happen during the cooldown period (set in the config), to keep from repeating useless syncs.
• rsync flags are fully customizable in the config
• Desktop Notifications can be enabled, with or without sound, for when triggers are processed.

Installation

curl -s http://dl.sudoba.sh/get/isosceles | sh

Development

These steps are only required if you wish to develop on the isosceles code, or compile it yourself.

1. Install Go (if you haven't already): https://golang.org/doc/install

2. Download and install isosceles:

$ go get -u github.com/murdinc/isosceles

3. If $GOPATH/bin is not yet in your $PATH (check with $ echo $PATH):

$ export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"

4. Test it! $ go test github.com/murdinc/isosceles/...

$ go test github.com/murdinc/isosceles/...
ok      github.com/murdinc/isosceles    0.010s
