Watches files using watchman, synces them on each change with rsync.

$ brew install watchman
$ brew install rsync
$ npm install rsyncy -g

Project configuration

$ touch `.rsyncy.js`

module.exports = {
  // source: '/Users/me/src/foo',
  target: 'username@server:/app/foo',
  exclude: [
    'node_modules',
    'bower_components',
    '.git',
    '.DS_Store',
    'tmp',
    'dist'
  ]
};

Global configuration

$ touch ~/.rsyncy-global.js

module.exports = {
  '/Users/ampatspell/src/thing/webapp': {
    target: 'ampatspell@dev:/home/ampatspell/thing/webapp',
    exclude: [
      'node_modules',
      'bower_components',
      '.git',
      '.DS_Store',
      'tmp',
      'dist'
    ]
  },
  '/Users/ampatspell/src/thing/server': {
    target: 'ampatspell@dev:/home/ampatspell/thing/server',
    exclude: [
      '.git',
      '.DS_Store',
      'log',
      'tmp'
    ]
  }
};

Run

$ rsyncy # watch and sync
$ rsyncy # only sync and exit

It is assumed that "master" is local copy, on each rsyncy start, all content is rsynced to remote location, afterwards only changed files are synced.

Tested and beeing used on OS X with Linux as a target. Not sure if this will work on Windows.
