Linux Unison: ignore all except multiple files


I want to synchronize two computers that are similar and update just a few files. Therefore I would like to perform a Unison and ignore everything except a list of files in different paths.

Something like:

# /usr/bin/unison-gtk /home/ ssh://[email protected]:22//home/ -ignore "Name *" -ignorenot "Name {config/text.cfg, Pictures/test.jpg, Desktop/test.mp3"

Or even better starting with root directory:

# /usr/bin/unison-gtk / ssh://[email protected]:22// -ignore "Name *" -ignorenot "Name {/home/config/text.cfg, /home/Pictures/test.jpg, /usr/local/bin/test.sh"

The first ignore is exclude everything else so the ignorenot won't catch them. Any Help? Can anyone help? Nothing I have found is helping me.


Solution

  • Got the solution somewhere else. Using path multiple times is possible:

    /usr/bin/unison-gtk / ssh://[email protected]:22// -path home/config/text.cfg -path /home/Pictures/test.jpg -path /usr/local/bin/test.sh"
