Sync.js – Upload changed local files to remote server

In plain words

Sync.js is a tool that synchronizes local folders with remote servers using scp. It automatically detects and uploads changed files from a user's computer to a remote location. Developers and system administrators who need to keep remote servers updated with local changes would find this useful. The tool operates as a command-line utility available on GitHub, offering a straightforward approach to file synchronization without requiring complex configuration.
