Sync sequel pro favorites between macs
Raw
sync-sequel-pro-favorite.md

The sequel pro favorites can be shared between Macs using cloud storage service like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.

The trick is to create a file that will be synced using these cloud services and sequel pro favorites file is just a symlink to this file.

The below script is used for OneDrive but it can also work for Dropbox and other cloud storages.

  1. Copy the current sequel pro favorites file

cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sequel\ Pro/Data/Favorites.plist ~/OneDrive/SequelPro.plist

  1. Delete the sequel pro favorites file

rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sequel\ Pro/Data/Favorites.plist

  1. Create a symlink that uses the synced file

ln -s ~/OneDrive/SequelPro.plist ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sequel\ Pro/Data/Favorites.plist

and that's all!

You need to Sequel Pro closed, otherwise it will rewrite the file every time you re-open it again.
