Shell script to fix issue with synx and git-enabled Xcode projects

synx.sh

#!/bin/sh

#
# README
# ------
# This script fixes an issue with synx (https://github.com/venmo/synx) that causes the script to
# occasionally script sabbotage a git-driven Xcode project. The issue has been reported by many
# on the Issues page, but no solution was offered by the maintainers.
#
# This simple script will fix that problem by allowing the user to choose certain directories
# to move aside and thus stopping synx from operating on them. Once synx is finished, this
# script will move back those directories to their original location.
