AJ ONeal 0861ebc8b8 ref(releases.conf): collapse source/owner/repo into single keys
Source type is now inferred from the primary key:
  github_repo = owner/repo   (was source=github + owner + repo)
  git_url = https://...      (was source=gittag + url)
  gitea_repo = owner/repo    (was source=gitea + owner + repo)
  hashicorp_product = name   (was source=hashicorp + product)

One-off dist sources (nodedist, zigdist, etc.) keep the explicit
source= key since they're already one-liners.

Parser still accepts the old format via the default fallback branch.

rclone https://github.com/rclone/rclone rclone: "rsync for cloud storage".

To update or switch versions, run webi rclone@stable (or @v1.54, @beta, etc).

Cheat Sheet

rclone is like rsync, but optimized for cloud storage and SSDs. rclone is also faster than rsync for many use cases.

rclone is compatible with a wide range of cloud storage providers including:

  • Google Drive
  • S3
    • (AWS, Minio, Digital Ocean, etc)
  • Dropbox
  • Backblaze B2
  • One Drive
  • Swift
  • Hubic
  • Wasabi
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Yandex Files

How to copy local files, like rsync

rclones cloud-first, SSD-first optimizations can cause performance issues when copying between HDDs. For performance more similar to cp (better than rsync) you can use the following options:

--tranfers=1 will only copy one file at a time, preventing thrashing and fragmentation.

--check-first will catalog files before copying.

--order-by name will copy files one directory at a time.

Example:

rclone sync -vP --transfers=1 --order-by name --check-first ~/ /Volumes/Backup/home

Example, excluding common temporary directories:

rclone sync -vP --transfers=1 --order-by name --check-first \
  --exclude 'node_modules/**' --exclude '.Spotlight-*/**' --exclude '.cache*/**' \
  ~/ /Volumes/Backup/home
