Dracon Sync
Background, auto-commit, multi-remote — invisible git sync for developer workspaces.
This repository is the canonical standalone source for dracon-sync on
GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg. It contains the source code, Cargo.toml, tests,
examples, and release metadata.
You can build and install this utility directly from this repo.

Why this name?
The descriptive name is a deliberate choice for Codeberg/Forgejo, where
descriptive repo names get upvotes and free attention because readers
immediately know what the project does. The full word list (no fillers, no
audience/UX claims) is documented in
docs/design/github-feature-repos.md.
Purpose
Watches configured repositories, waits for changes to settle (fingerprint stability / debounce), commits deterministic diff-based messages, and pushes to origin plus configured mirrors. Invisible: runs in the background, no user interaction required.
Runtime
- Binary:
dracon-sync - Service: dracon-sync.service
- Example policy:
dracon-sync/dracon-sync.example.toml - Common commands:
dracon-sync status · dracon-sync repos · dracon-sync health · dracon-sync daemon
Maintenance
Changes are made in this standalone repository. The dracon-sync daemon
watches it and pushes configured remotes; the parent meta workspace does not
mirror source files into it.
