Sync Feature

The ConfigsManager Sync feature allows you to quickly save and restore all your configuration files in the cloud.

Key Features

Fast Start

1.Set up a keying vault: Tool tries to check keyring backends in this oreder:

SETUP OF PASS TOOL

If you are getting errors like file doesn't exist when tool tries to access pass try initializing pass init [gpg-id/email] couple of times

Log into Dropbox:

cm sync auth --dropbox

You will receive a link from the tool. Follow the OAuth2 workflow by opening the link and entering the code provided.

Push

Push all your configuration files and metadata to the cloud:

cm sync push

Stores not only the files but also their paths and metadata at the moment of the push.

Pull

Pull configs from the cloud with different options:

1. Pull to the current folder:

cm sync pull [config_key_in_cloud]

2. Pull to a specific folder:

cm sync pull [config_key_in_cloud] [path/]

The tool creates folders automatically if they do not exist.

3. Pull to the original path (--sp flag):

cm sync pull [config_key_in_cloud] --sp

--sp stands for Determined Path – the original path where the config was located when pushed. Example: Fish shell config is stored in ~/.config/fish/config.fish. When pulling with --sp, the tool restores it to the correct location automatically.

4. Pull all configs to their determined paths (killer feature!):

cm sync pull --all --sp

Automatically restores all synced configs to the proper folders.

Logout

The logout command removes saved authentication tokens from your system.

Usage: Logout from all cloud services

cm sync logout

Logout only from Dropbox

cm sync logout --dropbox

The command safely deletes access and refresh tokens stored by ConfigsManager.
