rsync

This plugin adds aliases for frequent rsync commands, simplifying file transfer and synchronization tasks.

To use it add rsync to the plugins array in you .zshrc file.

plugins=(... rsync)

Alias	Command	Description
`rsync-copy`	`rsync -avz --progress -h`	Recursively copy files and directories, preserving permissions, timestamps, and symbolic links. Compression is enabled for faster transfers. Progress is displayed in a human-readable format.
`rsync-move`	`rsync -avz --progress -h --remove-source-files`	Same as rsync-copy, but removes the source files after a successful transfer (effectively performing a move).
`rsync-update`	`rsync -avzu --progress -h`	Like rsync-copy, but only updates files if the source is newer than the destination (or if the destination file is missing).
`rsync-synchronize`	`rsync -avzu --delete --progress -h`	Performs bidirectional-style sync: updates files as in rsync-update and deletes files in the destination that no longer exist in the source. Useful for directory synchronization.

Explanation of Flags:

-a: Archive mode; preserves symbolic links, permissions, timestamps, etc.
-v: Verbose; shows details of the transfer process.
-z: Compress file data during transfer for efficiency.
-u: Skip files that are newer on the receiver.
--progress: Show progress during file transfer.
-h: Output numbers in human-readable format (e.g., 1K, 234M).
--remove-source-files: Deletes source files after they are copied (used in rsync-move).
--delete: Deletes files in the destination that are not present in the source (used in rsync-synchronize).
