Fire rsync if Changes are Detected in Directory

fsevent_rsync.rb

# source: http://pastebin.com/viMSaRh3
# Invoke rsync when there are changes in the current directory

# 1. Change to project root, `cd /Users/joelam/Projects/tabs`
# 2. Initial rsync local to VM, `rsync -avzi -e ssh . deploy@joelam.dev.cloud.vitrue.com:/home/deploy/Projects/Vitrue/tabs/`
# 3. Please place this file in project_root (e.g. /Users/joelam/Projects/tabs/)
# 4. Run the script by `ruby fsevent_rsync.rb`
# 5. Modify any file in directory
# 6. rsync is executed, modified files are copied to VM

require 'rb-fsevent'
require 'open3'

include Open3

options = { :latency => 2 }
vm_name = "joeshmoe" # from your dev VM URL

rsync = 'rsync -avzic -e ssh --delete --include-from ".rsynckeep" ' \
  '--exclude-from ".rsyncignore" . ' \

fsevent.watch Dir.pwd, options do |directories|

• Switching to a new branch on local dev does not delete files that exist only in the original branch on the VM

rsync ignore and keep setting files

1. .rsyncignore
2. .rsynckeep
