Does anyone have any experience keeping folders synchronized on #macOS using a tool like Hazel? Thanks in advance for any advice!

My use case: I want to use #Obsidian for editing my website content (markdown) and sync with my #Eleventy website's /content directory.

Why?

-Using my Eleventy root directory as my Obsidian vault is very messy and causes slow iCloud sync.

  • I only need Obsidian for editing the /content in my website BUT vaults are only allowed in the /Obsidian iCloud Drive folder.

Great tip from @ctietze 🙏 https://mastodon.social/@ctietze/112293432193895079

Looks like someone has also made a Mac native UI for rsync. I'll play around and report back. https://rsyncui.netlify.app/post/rsyncuidocs/

@nfd Nice. If RsyncUI could be prompted to do its work, that'd be great. https://rsyncui.netlify.app/post/rsyncdaemon/ The Daemon part sounds hacky. But maybe you can configure in RsyncUI and export the parameters into an AppleScript? Hazel can run these

@nfd I believe you can get by with Hazel to notice whenever any file in a folder has changed, but to copy a (sub)directory hierarchy from A to B I believe that you'll have to use a tool like rsync that is good at keeping 2 folders in sync.

rsync is the only tool for this shipping with a Mac that I can name from the top of my head.
