Bunshin no Jutsu

Bunshin-no-Jutsu is a CLI to make complete copies of your files. You can use this for making backup :)

This tool works as a configuration-oriented tool. The name of the configuration file is .makimono.yml 📜

Usecase

Working with Dropbox

For example, you can copy your project under a directory which syncs with Dropbox.

Dropbox is sometimes heavy especially when we have many files, and doing many writing/deleting files. (e.g. Developing a nodejs project under Dropbox directory and build it)

In this case, we can reduce the waste of machine resources by using Bunshin-no-Jutsu.

This can be done by syncing two directories:

• ~/dev/some-project: Working directory
• ~/Dropbox/dev/some-project: Backup directory to sync with Dropbox
