What The Script Is For

This is a very simple script to sync 5 specified folders to a single destination. I use it to sync my md files in Obsidian to the correct folder for Hugo to build a static site from.

The Script

#!/bin/zsh
echo "About to perform the rsync"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder1" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder2" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder3" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder4" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder5" "Destination/Folder"
echo "rsync complete"
exit 0

Improvements That Can Be Made To The Script

  • A list of the source folders that is put through a for loop would be more efficient and flexible.
  • Declare the Destination as a variable.
