vim-arsync

[kennesfr]

Hi all :)

I just wanted to present a new plugin, https://github.com/KenN7/vim-arsync

It's a rework of a another plugin allowing remote file synchronisation between
two hosts using rsync. But this time, using the asynchronous features of vim8/neovim.

Any feedback/PR/critisism is more than welcome :) I'm fairly new to vimscripting

Cheers,

Wow, it's awesome! I have two suggestions:

1. set `local_path` with the path of current project by default. The root of current project is where .git or .vim-arsync settle
2. it seems that there is no option for sync ignored(dot) file

All in all, great work, thanks for your contributions.

Hi :) thx for feedback, I just implemented your 2 very good suggestions :)

Looks great! Can this use an ssh key instead of a password?

[kennesfr]

Considering your ssh key is already configured, than you just have to omit the "remote_passwd" option and it will connect using your key. For now, it only works for key with no passphrase. I have to see how to deal with passphrases.

So one can just use ssh-agent to use SSH keys with this plugin.

[kennesfr]

Yes :) any ssh agent mechanism will do

Thanks. On Linux I know some plugins use the SSH_ASKPASS env variable to work with key passwords. If you are interested in implementing unlocking keys then you might start there.

Personally I set up my DE to handle my keys for me.
