How to run the program:

In src/settings.ini you can change the default settings of the program (in this case logging level).

There is Makefile in the root directory of the project. You can run the program by running the following command:

make help # To see the help message

make install # To install Venv and dependencies

make run # To run the program with default arguments

make run_sync # To run the program with default arguments

make run_ # To run the program with default arguments (in venv)

make run_sync_ # To run the program with default arguments (in venv)

Arguments:

• --sync: To enable automatically sync the source and replica directories. (default is True)
• --interval: The interval in seconds to check for changes in the source directory. (default is 1s)
• --log: The path to the log file. (default is logs/{generated_timestamp}.log)
• --replica: The path to the replica directory. (default is "src/test/replica")
• --source: The path to the source directory. (default is "src/test/source")
• --help: To see the help message.

python3 src/sync.py -sync --interval 1 --log logs/mylog.log --replica /path/to/replica --source /path/to/source
