rsync¶

Change user on remote host (to access their homedir):

rsync -avz --rsync-path 'sudo -u someuser rsync' somehost:files/ somehost-files/

Don't copy files Git ignores:

rsync -avz --filter=':- .gitignore' foo remote_host:bar

Create parent folders on target:

rsync -av --relative .config/Code/User/settings.json ../dotfiles-global/
