Generates a script containing mkdir and mv commands that moves the files in the dst folder to
match the file structure of the src folder.
This utility is helpful for avoiding file copy (often from a remote computer) when using rsync and
the files in the src folder have been moved:
It detects a file that have been moved in src that already existing in dst, and generate a
mv command to move the file.
It detects duplication with file size and modified date. So it's assuming rsync is copying the
file attributes over. E.g., using rsync -a.
By default files smaller than 1MB is ignored, since copying them with rsync does not add much
time. The threshold can be controlled by the --min-file-size flag.
All symlinks are ignored.
Command:
```bash syncmv --action digest --folder sourcefolder --min-file-size 1000000 > src.json
syncmv --action digest --folder destinationfolder --min-file-size 1000000 > dst.json sync_mv --action diff --src src.json --dst dst.json > diff.txt ```
The above command generates a diff.txt containing the command to run. You can inspect the file and
run it and then optionally sync the folders with rsync. E.g.,
bash
bash diff.txt
rsync -avh source_folder destination_folder
cargo install sync_mvMIT
