fucking-fixed-sync-files

This is a fork of byteclubfr/node-sync-files. They are basically the same thing except this fork is fucking fixed, so it actually works on frequently changed files and doesn't give you one billion npm security warnings when you use it.

P.S. Command is still called sync-files, but you can use fucking-fixed-sync-files alternatively if you want to.

node-fucking-fixed-sync-files

Synchronize files or folders locally, with a watch option

Install

Locally:

npm install fucking-fixed-sync-files

Globally:

npm install --global fucking-fixed-sync-files

Usage

In your package.json

You may have some build script in your package.json involving mirroring folders (let's say, static assets), that's a good use-case for sync-files:

// Before
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "cp -rf src/images dist/",
    "watch": "???"
  }
}
 
// After
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "sync-files": "^1.0.3"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build": "sync-files src/images dist/images",
    "watch": "sync-files --watch src/images dist/images"
  }
}
