history

Project history and usage

rsyncy displays transfer progress, throughput, elapsed time, and file counts for rsync.

Project history

Developed under laktak, rsyncy adds a consolidated progress display to rsync. The official README describes a Go implementation alongside a maintained legacy Python implementation.

Adoption history

The README documents Homebrew, Go, binary, and Arch/AUR installation routes. It also provides integration instructions for the lf terminal file manager.

How it is used

Invoke rsyncy with normal rsync arguments, or pipe suitably configured rsync output into it. The wrapper adds progress flags automatically. NO_COLOR disables colors. Progress percentages can fall while rsync discovers additional files.

Why package nerds care

rsyncy illustrates the Unix wrapper pattern: improving visibility around an established command while preserving its arguments and transfer implementation.

Timeline

  • Undated: The project documents a Go implementation and continued maintenance of its legacy Python implementation.

Related projects

  • rsync performs transfers; lf can display status through rsyncy-stat.
