Basic usage
- Synchronize two directories
unison <dir-a> <dir-b>
- Selecting files to synchronize
- Synchronize home directory, using Ignore facility to skip some files.
- Create a subdirectory called shared, and synchronize that directory only.
- (Linux only) Create a subdirectory called shared, with symbolic links to other local directories, and synchronize that directory only using follow (making symlink transparent).
- Synchronize home directory as root, using -path switch on the command line:
unison /home/username ssh://remotehost//home/username -path shared
The -path option can be used as many times as needed, to synchronize several files or subdirectories:
unison /home/username ssh://remotehost//home/username \ -path shared \ -path pub \ -path .netscape/bookmarks.html
These -path arguments can also be put in your preference file.
