unison: Automatically accept the (non-conflicting) defaults.
$ unison ${path-to-directory_1} ${path-to-directory_2} -auto
try on your machine

This command is used to run the Unison file synchronization program. Here's a breakdown of its components:

  • unison: This is the command to execute the Unison program.

  • ${path-to-directory_1}: This is the file path of the first directory you want to synchronize. Replace ${path-to-directory_1} with the actual directory path, for example, /home/user/directory1.

  • ${path-to-directory_2}: This is the file path of the second directory you want to synchronize. Replace ${path-to-directory_2} with the actual directory path, for example, /home/user/directory2.

  • -auto: This is an option that runs Unison in automatic mode, without the need for user input. It instructs Unison to perform the synchronization according to predetermined rules and preferences specified in the Unison profile.

Overall, this command initiates Unison to synchronize the contents of ${path-to-directory_1} and ${path-to-directory_2} automatically, without requiring user intervention, based on the predefined rules and settings.

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.
