Documented steps Dry-run first: rsync -avzn --delete --exclude='node_modules' --exclude='.git' /local/src/ user@host:/remote/src/ -a is archive (recursive + preserve), -v verbose, -z compress, -n dry-run, --delete removes remote files absent locally The trailing slash on the SOURCE copies the directory contents, not the directory by name Review the dry-run output, then rerun without -n to execute the mirror Known gotchas --delete is destructive: it removes destination files not present in the source — always dry-run first Directories are different when a source path omits vs includes a trailing slash (the classic rsync footgun) A single colon means ssh transport; double colon (::) targets the rsync daemon on TCP 873, a different feature --exclude protects large/ephemeral dirs (node_modules, .git) from being mirrored
