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

This command is using the "mutagen" tool to create a synchronization session between a local directory and a remote directory inside a Docker container.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • mutagen: This is the command-line tool used for file synchronization between local and remote systems.
  • sync create: This part is used to create a new synchronization session.
  • --name=${session_name}: It sets the name for the synchronization session. ${session_name} is a variable that should be replaced with the desired name.
  • ${-path-to-local-directory-}: It represents the path to the local directory that you want to synchronize. Replace ${-path-to-local-directory-} with the actual directory path you want to use.
  • docker://${user}@${container_name}${-path-to-remote-directory-}: This defines the remote location inside the Docker container that you want to synchronize with. It uses the Docker protocol (docker://), followed by the username (${user}), the container name (${container_name}), and the path to the remote directory (${-path-to-remote-directory-}). Replace the variables with the actual values.

By running this command, Mutagen will create a synchronization session between the local directory and the specified remote directory inside the Docker container using the provided name for identification. Any changes made in either location will be automatically synced.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
