mutagen: Start a synchronization session between a local directory and a remote host.
$ mutagen sync create --name=${session_name} ${-path-to-local-directory-} ${user}@${host}:${-path-to-remote-directory-}
try on your machine

This command is used to create a synchronization session between a local directory and a remote directory using the mutagen tool. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • mutagen sync create: This part of the command is the mutagen command itself, indicating that a synchronization session is being created.

  • --name=${session_name}: This flag specifies the name of the synchronization session. ${session_name} represents a variable, which should be replaced with the desired name for the session.

  • ${-path-to-local-directory-}: This is the path to the local directory that you want to synchronize with the remote directory. Replace ${-path-to-local-directory-} with the actual path of the local directory.

  • ${user}@${host}:${-path-to-remote-directory-}: Here, ${user} represents the username you want to use for the SSH connection to the remote host, while ${host} represents the hostname or IP address of the remote host. ${-path-to-remote-directory-} should be replaced with the path to the remote directory.

To summarize, this command creates a synchronization session between a local directory and a remote directory using mutagen, allowing changes made in either directory to be automatically synced to the other.
