add-rsync-to-git-for-windows.sh

#! /bin/sh -x

# The reason to copy rsync binaries into Git for Windows is because
# VS Code has built in support for Git Bash shell in its Terminal.

# steps:
# 1. install Git for Windows from https://gitforwindows.org/
# 2. install MSYS2 from https://www.msys2.org/
# 3. Run as administrator: MSYS2 MSYS
# 4. execute the commands below in MSYS2 MSYS from step 3

# pacman options:
# -S to synchronize package/group with remote repository
# -Ql to query list of files in packages
pacman -S rsync

# notes & references:
# 1. check rsync dependencies from https://packages.msys2.org/package/rsync
# 2. from MSYS2, get the file list of rsync and its dependencies
#    $ pacman -Ql rsync libxxhash libzstd
# 3. rsync the binaries found from step (2) to Git for Windows
pacman -Ql rsync libxxhash libzstd

# rsync options:
# -r for recursive, -z for zipped (compressed)
# -v for verbose, -p to preserve permission
# -t to preserve modification time
# -P alias for --partial --progress
# -L transform symlink into referent
